Andrew Schulz
The inauguration, or as Republicans call it, Magalu the King Day was this week and the event was a list. Schindler's to be exact. Looks like Tesla's out if Volkswagen is in Musk got in front of a crowd, went full swatistic and confirmed every liberal conspiracy theorist worst nightmare. Elon is a Nazi astronaut. Buzz Reicher has taken control of our country. And you know how many Jews he wants to kill. To infinity and beyond. Let's just be. He didn't say that. Disgusting. N word, Newsom. Elon wasn't the only blissful billionaire at the event. We learned that Zuckerberg can look you in the eyes if that's your bra size. To be fair, they reminded him of Silicon Valley. God bless you, Bezos. You are amazing at delivering prime brown box. Speaking of billionaire wives, Melania was absolutely stunning. She looked like Carmen Sandiego was trying to steal Greenland. John Fetterman, on the other hand, dressed like it was two for one lap dances at the Gaza Strip club. John, the invite that said wear your hood was for the after party. Anyway, there's plenty more to discuss, so let's start the show. All right. Okay.
Akash Singh
I like that. That was fair. I like that.
Andrew Schulz
You like that.
Akash Singh
I like that.
Andrew Schulz
I thought that. That.
Akash Singh
Listen, son, I give you my heart, bro.
Andrew Schulz
Brandon, put that camera on Duff right now. Every time. Every time. Alex gives me his heart, but I.
Akash Singh
Get yo D. I give you my heart, bro.
Andrew Schulz
He got one py. He got scared. He got scared doing it at a Jew. Makes it a little different.
Akash Singh
Makes a little different.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so what do you guys think of Elon having his little spastic moment?
Mark Gagnon
I don't. Isn't this like a super pro Israel administra? I just don't think, like, they're. They hate Jews like that.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, no, no. Okay, let's. Let's clarify something.
Mark Gagnon
I think he's just autistic.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, they don't hate Jews at all.
Mark Gagnon
If it was anti black, maybe we got a thing. South African, but anti Jew, they're like a big problem.
Andrew Schulz
I don't think it was. I don't think he was actually doing it. Here's the shit. Here's the shit. Like that annoys me. And this is what Democrats do all the fucking time. They just like, defend absurd shit, and that's what exhausts us. I think that's why the trans thing is a big issue. I don't even think anybody gives a fuck about trans. It's just the most absurd and obvious thing. And I feel people are Going like, all right, well, you'll acknowledge this is weird. Like, you know, trans girls competing against normal girls. That's a little unfair. And they won't even acknowledge it. So Republicans just gotta go, yo, that was some goofy shit he did.
Mark Gagnon
Yes.
Andrew Schulz
Okay. We can't let him out in front of people. He spends all day in a basement, you know, working on electricity. You let him out in front of people, he gets really excited. He does whatever the last documentary he saw was right. Like, he just got shit in his head and it comes out, you know? But you gotta at least say it.
Mark Gagnon
It's goofy as fuck and weird as fuck.
Alex Media
Just say, there's a Roman salute, bro.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, Roman salute, sir.
Alex Media
It was Rome salute. You guys don't know history. You guys don't know anything about history.
Mark Gagnon
So tell me about the Romans.
Alex Media
The Romans killed a lot of Jews.
Andrew Schulz
Okay?
Alex Media
That is like one main Jew. He killed a king Jew. All right.
Akash Singh
King Jew, son.
Alex Media
Okay.
Andrew Schulz
No. So what do you think? You think he's. Yeah.
Akash Singh
You never did that for me, bro.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, true. You never did that for me.
Alex Media
Let's go, dude. Come on, now. Trump's America.
Andrew Schulz
Feel away.
Alex Media
Trump's America clapping for you to fix.
Mark Gagnon
Something else on Gordo. He's not clapping to applaud you 100%.
Andrew Schulz
I've done that for you. I done that for y'all. I'm having some fun.
Akash Singh
I'm just saying, if they gonna go that way, then, hey, I'm just g heart to everybody now.
Andrew Schulz
Now.
Akash Singh
Yeah, it's great.
Andrew Schulz
Are people saying that that's the thing, that it becomes annoying now you become like the Republican version of a Democrat.
Mark Gagnon
By defending and being like, oh, it's a Roman. It's this.
Andrew Schulz
Exactly. Just say what it is. He did some dumb shit because the guy is filled with autism, and you put him in front of a crowd and he just spazzed out.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. Thousand percent. To be like, yo, we got too many vaccines.
Andrew Schulz
Yes.
Mark Gagnon
If you want to keep a Republican, you got too many vaccines. Yeah, that's the problem. Now he's autistic. You don't know what he's doing.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, there you go.
Mark Gagnon
That's what you do.
Akash Singh
Has he said anything, or he's just, like, completely.
Andrew Schulz
He got to say something.
Mark Gagnon
He said something like, this is the tired bit of the left is he's trying to make everybody a Nazi. They're just kind of funny. Nobody's like, you did the thing.
Andrew Schulz
You know what I mean? I mean, maybe some people think. I don't think. I don't think Any, like, rational person thinks he's a Nazi. I don't think anybody rational.
Mark Gagnon
I think people are like, he knows what he's doing. He knows what they.
Andrew Schulz
No, no, no. I said rational person. I don't think any rational human being thinks he's a Nazi rational.
Akash Singh
I think it could possibly be a dog whistle. So then he did it twice. You could fuck up once, but fucking up twice.
Andrew Schulz
Fucking up twice makes me feel like he truly didn't know what he was doing.
Akash Singh
He did it facing forward. And then for the people in the back who ain't seen. I just wanted to make sure. I'm giving you my art also.
Mark Gagnon
But again, this is not a Jew hating administration, so why would he do the Nazi shit?
Akash Singh
To separate himself. He's like, yo, me in guys, I'm fucking. No, I'm fucking around. I'm fucking around. I'm fucking around.
Alex Media
I'm fucking around.
Akash Singh
I'm fucking around.
Alex Media
Also.
Mark Gagnon
Wouldn't that make liberals be like, I.
Akash Singh
Just wanted to bop.
Andrew Schulz
It's way more fun to make fun of him when we acknowledge that he was just being autistic. Yeah, the annoying. It's okay, Miles. You're doing your best. You're doing your best.
Mark Gagnon
I don't even know what it is.
Andrew Schulz
It's okay. We're doing. Everybody's doing their best.
Alex Media
All to his anvil just drop.
Andrew Schulz
Somehow, just out of nowhere.
Alex Media
He was goose stepping back. You can't hear it, right?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Okay.
Akash Singh
So, like, I don't think he's. Fuck it. I don't think he's enough.
Alex Media
But he.
Andrew Schulz
But instead of going, this is just the dog whistle thing. You got to go, hey, that looks a lot like some Nazi shit. I'm not going to lie. I should probably not do that in the future. Got a little too excited.
Akash Singh
And by him not saying anything, you. All the conspiracy theorists who want to believe something, you're giving all the ammunition they need.
Andrew Schulz
Official comment on X.
Akash Singh
Frankly, they need better dirty tricks.
Andrew Schulz
The everyone is Hitler attack is so tired.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
No, no, no, no. It's not everyone's Hitler. It's the guy in front of a crowd. You have to you stop gaslighting him. This is what Democrats do now. You become the Democrats. I'm literally watching Animal Farm. You did the absurd thing. Just go, hey, obviously I'm not a Nazi. I'm not fucking Hitler. But I did the Nazi Hitler thing. So anybody that felt a little weird about it is completely reasonable. That's my bad for feeling that. That's my. It's that dude. Whenever Like a white broadcaster on the news says the N word by accident. You know, when he's, like, in traffic and there's, like, a lot of black people in front of them or whatever. No, no, you know what I'm talking about. Those, like, those people who like reporters, and there's like a word that kind of is like, the N word. And then they say the N word because they get to be themselves for a moment. They just go, yo, obviously I don't hate black. I'm sorry. This is so offensive. That was my bad, but it was a mistake. It's not that I hate black people. They just say that. They don't go, oh, this is that old trick where you try to make white to say the N word seem like they're racist or something to you.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, you're absolutely right. Just acknowledge it.
Andrew Schulz
That's very gay, Elon. Very gay.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Yeah. But he's learning from Donald T. Donald.
Andrew Schulz
T. Never apologize and never apologize, and that's the fucking Teflon done. And never apologize. And if you don't at least acknowledge, you don't have to apologize. You could just.
Alex Media
Just.
Andrew Schulz
If you don't at least acknowledge it, we're gonna have four more years of just the same exact shit just from the opposite side, and it's gonna be exhausting.
Alex Media
In fairness, the ADL defended him. The adl? Anti Defamation League.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Alex Media
The same people that said that Greta Thunberg was anti Semite of the week because she had a. An octopus plush pillow. And they said the octopus was a symbol of anti Semitism.
Akash Singh
Really?
Andrew Schulz
They.
Alex Media
They go wild sometimes. Like, they, like, throw at people. And they said that Elon. What he did was strange and due to his autism and that it wasn't Nazi.
Akash Singh
So they kissing the ring too.
Alex Media
He's off the hook.
Andrew Schulz
They worried about Doge. Autism.
Akash Singh
Everybody's worried about Doge right now.
Mark Gagnon
Autism's a get out of jail free card. They had to acknowledge it in the tweet.
Andrew Schulz
It's the.
Alex Media
It's like it. Anxiety. In fairness.
Andrew Schulz
But people with autism have, like a. A real life version of my phone got hacked.
Mark Gagnon
That's great.
Andrew Schulz
You know, like, the rest of us got to take that on the chin up.
Alex Media
I got Tourette's.
Andrew Schulz
I got Tourette. It just came out of me.
Alex Media
And sometimes it happens. You know what I mean?
Andrew Schulz
Damn. How lucky are they? Yeah. How long is it before people start faking autism?
Alex Media
It's already happened.
Mark Gagnon
Faking. I just thought about faking Tourette's. When he said that, I was like.
Akash Singh
I wish I last year that I.
Andrew Schulz
Okay, so. Okay. They're being corny about that. Outside of that, what'd you think of it, about the events?
Mark Gagnon
So I was actually in D.C. for the all in podcast. Who. I think they're awesome. They're doing a live stream.
Akash Singh
They didn't let you in in D.C.
Andrew Schulz
Did you try to go to the inauguration?
Mark Gagnon
No, I didn't want to go to the inauguration, but they were doing a live stream event in D.C. and then one of the guys, Chamath, went to the inauguration.
Andrew Schulz
Right.
Mark Gagnon
But they asked me to come down. I think they're awesome. So I was like, absolutely. So I'm in D.C. like, watching the vibe. Yeah, buddy. I ain't seen white people this happy. It was like a fucking SEC championship.
Alex Media
Woodstock 99.
Mark Gagnon
Unbelievable. The whole city, you can feel a buzz for sure.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
And I'm looking, it's like, hey, you know, Trump's base is you. It feels like it's probably a little bit more diverse. DC wasn't. I never seen DC this not black in my life. You know, the most black people I saw in D.C. selling the Donald Trump merch to the white people. That's all I saw. The auto rickshaws, you know, they got the pedicabs, you know, they're always playing music in Times Square, rap songs, whatever. You know what they're playing. What ymca I love the whole vibe.
Andrew Schulz
Is Trump, Trump, Trump.
Mark Gagnon
I sent Miles a video. Maybe he'll put it on. But just like, you're stopped at lights, you see all these people with Donald motherfucking Trump shirts on or whatever. Like, the vibe is crazy. We're watching in a hotel and you can hear people fucking screaming and clapping when Donald Trump is showing on camera. It was like, I haven't seen white people this happy in my entire life. Yeah, it was a thing. Yeah, it was a real fucking thing.
Andrew Schulz
Did you go to any of the events?
Mark Gagnon
No. I got asked to go to the Starlight Gala.
Andrew Schulz
Okay.
Mark Gagnon
But it was like, I didn't have a suit. It was a black tie affair. I got asked like, two hours before. I was like, it's just not worth all that effort. But being in dc, it was actually pretty cool to just see the energy around. Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
The Super Bowl.
Mark Gagnon
But also, I didn't. I didn't know if I wanted to be.
Andrew Schulz
It is for politics. Like, people who dedicate their life to politics thinks that's the only thing going on.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, it's really fun.
Andrew Schulz
That is their moment. That's the event.
Mark Gagnon
And you realize how politic Politically invested people are. When you see just like every loser on both sides. You know what I mean?
Akash Singh
Like, so this is a bigger night than, like, what's. When they're, like, running and they have. When they finally choose who's going to be the running mate for that particular party.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, the convention. The Democratic.
Mark Gagnon
Because they won.
Andrew Schulz
This is bigger. This is the celebration.
Akash Singh
Yes.
Mark Gagnon
Super bowl parade.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. And you get to look at all the losers. The losers got to show up. Imagine. Imagine your victory parade. The loser's got to be on the float with you. Okay.
Alex Media
That would be way better.
Andrew Schulz
How incredible?
Alex Media
Way better.
Andrew Schulz
They got to see all your fans throwing you bud lights. They catch one, you go, I'll take that. Like, it is a pretty intense moment. Yeah.
Akash Singh
It's good for Biden. He know where he was, so he.
Andrew Schulz
Thought he was being inaugurated. There were moments where he's like, we did it.
Mark Gagnon
You notice how often they didn't stand up. Trump is getting standing ovations. It's a little like a nauseating there again. But Trump, and I'm sorry, Biden and Kamala only stood once when he said the peace treaty between Palestine and Gaza or whatever. That's the only time he stood up.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Every other time they're seen, did you hear people booing?
Alex Media
I saw clips of people, like, outside booing every time, like, Obama went on. On screen or like the Clintons or anything like that.
Mark Gagnon
I think I want to say there was one or two boos, but, like, we were watching on like a 10 second delayed feed. So you would hear people in the hotel. We were at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. You'd hear the lobby going crazy and then you would know Trump's about to get chumped. They didn't really give a fuck about vans or any of that. But Trump, that's.
Andrew Schulz
Well, I think they. They moved it indoors because of the weather.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
So it was in like, I guess the rotunda. And then all the people that were gonna go watch it outside went and watched it from. I guess it was the Capital One Arena.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
So they had it displayed at the Capital One arena. So they had to move Everybody's tickets around, etc. So I think that's what you were hearing with the booze.
Alex Media
I was in the arena.
Andrew Schulz
I believe when they show Obama doing the walk to the rotunda, there might have been some people in the. And by some, I mean a significant portion.
Alex Media
Come on. 1mlk day of all days.
Mark Gagnon
They're hard, dude.
Andrew Schulz
Y'all don't make This a thing. It is a thing.
Mark Gagnon
I mean, we didn't make it.
Andrew Schulz
We didn't make it. I feel like you guys alone are.
Mark Gagnon
Going to make this a friend as.
Andrew Schulz
Popular if you keep on doing on this podcast.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I was just saying how long.
Andrew Schulz
Until it's an emoji? Oh, yeah, it's got to be emoji.
Mark Gagnon
Hey, Tim Cook was at that inauguration. Might be an emoji tomorrow.
Alex Media
Bro. You saw, you saw Zuck getting a peek? Oh, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
A little gander, bro.
Alex Media
I mean, this is fire kind of sick, right?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Shout out. The black dude behind him, he's going crazy. That guy going crazy. He thinks he's being slick, like he's cheating on a test with this. I used to think that shit worked too hard. That is crazy right there.
Mark Gagnon
You know, the smile on Zuck's face afterward is the funniest part.
Alex Media
He sees him, smiles, goes back so much joy. Just so happy. I mean, this is what he made Facebook for. Yeah, I mean, it's this exact purpose. Just rating hot chicks. I mean, shout out to him, dude, what do you think? Of all the billionaires all lined up, you had like Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk.
Mark Gagnon
So it was cool to watch the pod, the stream with all in guys because they're so fucking smart. Like, just seeing their reactions immediately, they were like, this is them, their way of saying, hey, America's back to innovation, back to like rewarding greatness and all that stuff. Like having the Apple CEO, the Google CEO, hey, look at America. Look what we can do and look what we reward. It was like they felt like that was like an intentional thing.
Andrew Schulz
I could see, I see. I could see that. I could see that argument. I also think it's like, you know, Donald is all about optics. Optics are very important. I think having the most powerful people in America stand behind you and come kiss the ring for your inauguration. Yeah, I think there's like an ego stroke. It lets everybody knows, hey, I'm king.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
You think these tech guys are the kings? You think they run the country? No, no, they're here for daddy.
Akash Singh
These guys are talking shit about me. A few years ago, he made his.
Andrew Schulz
Wife get dressed up. Dress your wife up. That's what he said. Yo, put your wife in something nice. I'm sitting next to Zuck, right? Like he. It was to me. It's on some. I'm the king and everybody else is here to support the king. Now, I do agree that they're the optics, what they, what they said, which is like, this is what we reward here, and these are the people we support 100%. I mean, they're very specific about the people that they put there. And I wonder if the Bezos and the Zuckerbergs were like, honored about being there. Yeah, but it does show that they're kind of being phony because, you know, four years ago when they're, you know, pushing back against the administration, and I don't know how much pushback they specifically did, but they seem to like, ask acquiesce to like liberal leanings, at least within their companies. And the second it looks like the country is swift switching the other way, maybe like the real version of them came out.
Akash Singh
Yeah, maybe the real version is just, hey, we with the winning team.
Andrew Schulz
So here's the thing, because I bet.
Akash Singh
You if the pendulum swings back, they're.
Andrew Schulz
Gonna be like, I can't fathom that, like, titans of industry are also cocks.
Alex Media
What?
Andrew Schulz
Are you serious?
Mark Gagnon
They might be cucks, but they're about their money more than anything. Yeah, who's gonna keep their money?
Akash Singh
They're cocks for money, though. So like, wherever the money and wherever what's best for my business, I'm gonna cuck out.
Andrew Schulz
Right, right, right, right. Okay, okay, okay. Let me just clarify that statement is what they actually feel deep down is like, what's a 40 hour work week? Like, I worked 100 hours a week, why do I have to pay you more money for overtime? They're like, okay, I get, I grind. Like their, their actual ideas are more conservative outside of like gay marriage and that kind of shit. But like work, hustle grind. Right.
Mark Gagnon
And that would triumph any social justice. They feel that would trump it.
Andrew Schulz
So the idea of them hiring somebody not based on like merit or who they think is the best, like, if you ask any of those guys, they're like, where are they from? Taiwan, China, Afghanistan. Like they would hire fucking Osama bin Laden to code if he was good enough.
Mark Gagnon
Right.
Andrew Schulz
They just want the best person. Exactly. But now they're like, oh, I gotta hire this many black. But that's not who they are. Because this is gonna fuck the thing I care about the most, which is what you said.
Akash Singh
That money.
Andrew Schulz
That money.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
So. So the second the pendulum culturally swung back, all of a sudden they're like, oh, I could be myself a little bit more. Again, I had to pretend to be this progressive cuck because that's where culture was and I didn't want to alienate. But now that I doing this, let's go. And I think this is closer to who they actually are. Okay, maybe not socially. I think they'll probably believe in abortion rights and that kind of stuff. But in terms of making money.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And no, they're the most conservative.
Akash Singh
That H1B visa, though, is conflicting with the. With the base.
Andrew Schulz
Huge.
Akash Singh
It's conflicting with the base.
Andrew Schulz
You think they give a about the base? They don't give a about the base. Now I'm talking about the tech guys.
Akash Singh
Yeah, but what if Donnie T is like, nah, that H1B visa shit. Do you think they're gonna.
Mark Gagnon
I don't think he will because he's been supportive of it. Musk is like, I'll die on this hill. And Trump doesn't care enough about it.
Andrew Schulz
His wife got a visa.
Alex Media
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
You send me back. Send your wife back. So he clearly likes immigrants. His first wife was an immigrant.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
How many? The only girls he fucked from here he paid. And he got in trouble for that also.
Mark Gagnon
Guys, show dates. Yo, Sacramento. This is kind of crazy. We got a fucking ninth show that we added Sunday at 6:30. So I'm going to be dead. But we'll have some fun right after the AFC championship game. So that is on January 26th, January 31st through February 1st, I'm in West Des Moines, Iowa. February 21st and 22nd, I'm in Brea, California. Hurry up and buy those tickets because they're selling out. Also February 28th through March 1st, I am in Nashville, Tennessee. All those dates and more. Many more@akashing.com I think we're going to call this generational Triumph tour. That's what it's gonna be. But I'll see you guys there. I love y'all. Thank you so much.
Akash Singh
Why she don't dress good? She could do better, bro.
Andrew Schulz
Bro. I. I think that she has by far the best style. What? Yeah, the Hamburglar. That was fire. I thought that was.
Mark Gagnon
Look at that.
Andrew Schulz
Is fire.
Mark Gagnon
I don't think it's awful, but anything. I don't think it's great.
Andrew Schulz
Nah, that is fire.
Akash Singh
Bezos stole the show.
Mark Gagnon
Now that you throwing it out.
Andrew Schulz
You throwing around like.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I just saw what podcast we are.
Alex Media
Are they married yet?
Akash Singh
They not married. So that's just this.
Andrew Schulz
Hey. Oh, infallible logic when they married.
Akash Singh
That's his wife.
Alex Media
So if you're not married.
Akash Singh
Shut up.
Andrew Schulz
Wait, wait, wait.
Alex Media
I was just trying to clarify.
Akash Singh
What y'all understand.
Andrew Schulz
Speaking of H1B pieces, now we know what the P stands for. Yo, Mark, you make a good ass point, bitches. We just throwing a you word around our Girl never get. Bro. Forget about it. And you know they can't do anchor babies. You can't even knock her up and keep her here.
Alex Media
No.
Andrew Schulz
Wow.
Akash Singh
We'll be all right. We'll be all right. I'm going to Spain out of here.
Andrew Schulz
You think Spain is like, we need more Puerto Ricans. They left y'all there for a reason.
Alex Media
That's why you like the Bad Bunny album, bro. That's why. That's your way in.
Andrew Schulz
In.
Alex Media
That's your way in.
Akash Singh
Y'all gotta really listen to true American music.
Andrew Schulz
One of the greatest American artists of all time.
Akash Singh
The best. We was listening to Led Zeppelin, Beatles, a bunch of other white people. Bad Bunny kills.
Andrew Schulz
Stopped it. Stopped it.
Akash Singh
All of them.
Alex Media
What do you think about Fetterman's fit?
Mark Gagnon
I love this guy, dude. God bless.
Andrew Schulz
It's a little much now. It's performative.
Akash Singh
Yes, I agree.
Andrew Schulz
That's what they're like.
Akash Singh
And you should sweat. Sweat.
Andrew Schulz
Initially it was authentic. Now it feels like you're just doing it for clout.
Mark Gagnon
And it's like, nah, I lean in. I love it.
Andrew Schulz
Now what would. What would have made sense would be like khakis and like an oversized white button down shirt. Like, it's like he's actually trying to dress up, but he just can't. Yeah, that would have been believable. Like wearing the gray shorts, like, out of here.
Alex Media
That's an exclusive car. Hard though. That's expensive.
Akash Singh
Oh, that's cold as.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, it's literally one of the coldest days.
Mark Gagnon
He's a bald white guy. They don't wear. They like pride themselves in it. That's probably why he did it. You guys think it's cold. Pussies. That's like a big bald white guy thing is never being cold.
Akash Singh
Yeah, that's crazy.
Alex Media
Have you heard people say that Trump admitted that Elon rigged the election? You heard this clip? No, from his speech. This is. This is what he said. And people are saying that, oh, this is proof that Elon rigged it. All right, this is the clip I've.
Akash Singh
Been trying to say then a half.
Andrew Schulz
Campaigning for me in Pennsylvania. And he's a popular guy and he was very effective and he knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers, those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania, like in a landslide. So thank you. Don't let neither of them talk. Maybe they're trying to make liberals conspiracy theorists. Yeah, maybe that's the goal.
Mark Gagnon
It is funny to watch a complete 180. Now everybody on the liberal side is like, look, these Guys stole the election.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Y'all can't just admit your guys are fucking losers. Trump is a fucking loser. Like a loser now.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
If he's saying shit like this, he's like asking you to accuse him of some.
Mark Gagnon
That's true. But y'all lost. Y'all think Kamala didn't lose because she sucks. What about the other eight states?
Andrew Schulz
No, no, no. Kamala lost because she sucks. There's no question.
Mark Gagnon
But give her Pennsylvania. Hey, you can have it. He still lost.
Akash Singh
The popular vote was close, guys. She said it was kind of close.
Mark Gagnon
Fucking loser shit right there.
Akash Singh
She lost, but it was close.
Alex Media
Did you see Trump? Not the actual statement.
Akash Singh
You see how she couldn't. Because that hat was in.
Andrew Schulz
The hat.
Alex Media
The hat was. Is that what it was?
Andrew Schulz
What happened?
Alex Media
Other people are saying it's the makeup. Other people are saying that she didn't want him to kiss her. Basically, he walks in. This is when he first pops into the rotunda, Right?
Andrew Schulz
Oh, no, that's.
Akash Singh
He trying to get to. He kissed.
Andrew Schulz
That just blocked us.
Akash Singh
That's why she wore that. Built the wall away for me.
Alex Media
Yeah. I mean, missing the kids is so funny. Cuz he's probably walking away be like, I that.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Why didn't he come under? Why didn't he go to.
Akash Singh
That's why she wore the hat.
Alex Media
Or pop the hat up or something. Like, people are saying that there. There's trouble. That's what. That's what people are saying. I think just the hat.
Akash Singh
They've been saying that for a while, though.
Andrew Schulz
Mind your business. Yeah, there's trouble. You ever been married trouble? Like, oh, my. What? What you think that there' argument and a couple that's been married for 40 years. What?
Akash Singh
That's why you just get engaged. They keep acting.
Mark Gagnon
Plus you get to call them whatever you want.
Alex Media
That's a great point.
Andrew Schulz
You actually have the best of both worlds.
Alex Media
The carrot.
Andrew Schulz
Our dumb asses make carrot cake for them. They ate that and they're like, what else you got? Oh, man.
Alex Media
If you're president, how long are you not arguing with a girl?
Andrew Schulz
To be honest, son, women's ability to like, get comfortable in whatever setting they're in.
Mark Gagnon
It's unbelievable.
Andrew Schulz
Like, she. He not even president to her no more.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
He's this golfing ass, right? Like she's just bitching her friends like this. All this dude does is golf. What is he, like stressed or something?
Mark Gagnon
The White House is some old ass house we gotta rent out.
Andrew Schulz
We gotta live in this fucking rental for four years.
Mark Gagnon
You know, she's over 200 years old.
Alex Media
It's a haunted house interior that hadn't.
Mark Gagnon
Been redesigned since the 80s.
Andrew Schulz
She said it. She's like, I think I'll stay in New York with Baron. He can go down to D.C. and live in that shit box.
Akash Singh
That's fire.
Andrew Schulz
But didn't she say that for the first administration?
Mark Gagnon
Really want to come, bro?
Akash Singh
He tries to drop a mean coin. She drops the next day, like, my shit's fine.
Mark Gagnon
I was stepping on his shit.
Akash Singh
That's crazy.
Andrew Schulz
What was hers?
Mark Gagnon
Melania coin.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, really? And it went, no.
Mark Gagnon
Well, the price of Trump coin dropped, probably because a lot of same people were buying. Selling it to buy Melania coin.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
But it's like, why are you stepping on mine?
Akash Singh
Yeah. Wait, that's disrespectful.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Why is it disrespectful?
Akash Singh
Don't step on my.
Andrew Schulz
But you think it's actually hers or.
Alex Media
I think she coded it, bro. Yeah, she's Eastern European.
Mark Gagnon
Like, signed off on it.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
You gotta. You gotta get the okay for it.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, but that's Trump's.
Akash Singh
Oh, you think so?
Alex Media
What's mine is ours, you know?
Andrew Schulz
You think he's letting her just have a $500 million worth of coins?
Akash Singh
He lets her dress like that?
Andrew Schulz
She got a lot of liberty, bro. When you say that, bro, I feel insulted because I think she dresses amazing. And you like. She dresses like. So I'm like, do I not know Good dressing women. Yeah.
Alex Media
What did you want her to wear?
Andrew Schulz
Be honest.
Mark Gagnon
Nah. Emma.
Akash Singh
Emma gets fly. That is.
Andrew Schulz
I thought it was so chic.
Mark Gagnon
Was disrespectful when you commented. That was crazy. This guy. Crazy.
Akash Singh
Because I said, Emma gets fly.
Mark Gagnon
What is that?
Andrew Schulz
I thought that was good. Knows how to dress. Yeah.
Akash Singh
So giving him a compliment.
Mark Gagnon
What does it look like? To be honest with you.
Andrew Schulz
I don't.
Mark Gagnon
Even recognize Amber unless Andrew next to her. I'm just thinking, hey, that's a nice looking.
Andrew Schulz
Whatever. That's a lady, bro. I do feel that way. Like, I'm not saying hi to none of y'all girls. If y'all want to. It's not even on the street. I won't say hi, bro. I'mma walk right past them.
Akash Singh
They come around, you kiss them like Trump. Like.
Andrew Schulz
That is so true, man. Man, y'all wives? Are y'all wives. Thousand percent respectful.
Mark Gagnon
That's how you do respectfully, bro.
Alex Media
Does Baron have unstoppable aura right now or what?
Andrew Schulz
Nah, this kid. This kid got some.
Akash Singh
He got the most of his dad okay, explain.
Andrew Schulz
Watch. What this part you got, the one that's inside the rotunda when everybody's giving him the applause.
Alex Media
Oh, I got them when they were walking in.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, no, when he was walking in. This is.
Akash Singh
What the. Oh, okay.
Andrew Schulz
That's so stupid. Sorry I wasn't tuned into the inauguration, watching the highlights like y'all do that to get it 100%. If you would have saw the real one, you definitely would have known the difference. You don't think we looked and saw a 20 foot guy walking into us?
Akash Singh
Saw for a second. He's the tall kid.
Andrew Schulz
No, no, no. Baron. Baron. We need to get Baron on the pod.
Mark Gagnon
Yes.
Andrew Schulz
Yo, Baron, bro, we know you. Listen, I want you coming on the podcast, but I feel like he's more.
Akash Singh
His mother on, cuz they both always have like the mean scout.
Andrew Schulz
Wait, wait until you see when the crowd is, is, is or wise.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, he got it.
Alex Media
But this one right here, he got him, bro.
Akash Singh
Look at Elon looking like a fanboy. So he look like he's more used to being here than Elon. That's crazy.
Andrew Schulz
No, this is not it. This is not the one.
Alex Media
Hold on, let me find.
Andrew Schulz
Elon is hyped now. He was going to jail if they lost. I, I, I didn't really believe him when he said that, but when seeing his reaction, I truly do think that he was going to jail.
Akash Singh
Really?
Andrew Schulz
If they lost or something punitive like. There's no way he's this hyped. What is he getting out of this, son?
Akash Singh
250 mil. I'm fucking. I got the ear of the president. Like that's a steal.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, it feels like he bought Twitter for this to happen, you know what I mean? And then he gave a little more money. Like there's nobody more excited than this guy. He's been wanting this for years and I don't know why, but there is some reason.
Andrew Schulz
So did you hear about Mark's, Mark's mom's reason? Reason? Yeah, yeah.
Akash Singh
So she gotta come on a pod.
Andrew Schulz
Bro, bro, bust it down.
Alex Media
I don't know if we can, I don't know if we can handle. I dropped in the group chat because I thought I saw it. I was like, all right, this is from a tweet from a random account. Nazi rocket scientist Warner Von Braun wrote a book called Project Mars in which a man called the Elon headed the government of Mars. And Musk senior named his son after this character.
Akash Singh
Believe it.
Alex Media
Apparently it's true. I looked it up. That's what the, the character in the. In the book is called the Elon.
Mark Gagnon
I mean, that's crazy.
Alex Media
That is kind of wild that he just fulfilled his dad's prophecy.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, that's.
Akash Singh
Is he still just serving hard? I don't know.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, no.
Mark Gagnon
Can I ask you a question? What him being a Nazi got to do with him going to Morse?
Alex Media
There's no Jews there.
Andrew Schulz
How do we know that? I don't know if we for sure.
Alex Media
The aliens are Jewish.
Akash Singh
They got kicked out of every place they prob.
Andrew Schulz
If there's anybody there, it's probably Jews.
Alex Media
What if aliens come back? Shabbat Shalom. That would be crazy. And we have to just be like, all right, I guess they're Jewish and they just run everything again.
Mark Gagnon
Yo, if we colonize Mars, how long till the Jews buy up all the land in that charge us crazy.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, Elon sure does say Occupy Mars.
Alex Media
Occup Mars on his shirt. Everywhere he goes, goes.
Andrew Schulz
Very comfortable. This Alex on day two, huh?
Alex Media
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Alex is liking Maga, bro. Don't you feel more free? You don't got to pretend. I mean, it's.
Akash Singh
It's nice to not care about.
Andrew Schulz
Nail polish off. Nice to not care about. Can you be a real American for a second, Dude? Be a real American for a second. Get your money up, okay? Take care of your family, okay? Don't let your neighbors chop their kids off in the name of God.
Akash Singh
I don't think they would do another day of God.
Andrew Schulz
I'm just saying don't let it happen.
Mark Gagnon
And then.
Andrew Schulz
And just, you know, embrace this moment in history, this brief moment in history.
Alex Media
You want another conspiracy theory right here? Trump's kids. It's got the hand going, the whole triangle. This lady over here's got an earpiece. She's like, yo, yo, drop your hands. Drop your hands.
Akash Singh
Oh, please explain.
Andrew Schulz
So explain.
Mark Gagnon
That's the Illuminati sign or some.
Alex Media
This is what the theory is, that this is Illuminati, right? This is a ritual, okay?
Akash Singh
All the time.
Alex Media
It's Freemason does, Right? It's a Freemason triangle. You know what I mean? And so he's just inverting it, letting everyone know what time it is. And she's like, yo, you gotta stop. Other people are saying it's just a power pose. Apparently there's, like, a thing in. In yoga. Andrew Tate does this all the time.
Akash Singh
Yes.
Alex Media
And he's like, this is why I do it. Because you're connecting your chakras and your energies all lined up.
Andrew Schulz
It.
Alex Media
It invokes confidence.
Akash Singh
That's what Tate says his reason is.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Alex Media
And apparently it's like a thing in like Ayurvedic yoga or some like, you.
Mark Gagnon
Do Tate's annoying ass in the Illuminati. If I was actually powerful and Tate was over there talking that, like, shut.
Akash Singh
The up sells hoes, bunch of other sketchy. I think that's qualifications for Illuminati.
Alex Media
Oh, that's good. He's trying to get in.
Andrew Schulz
Allegedly, Allegedly. Allegedly.
Mark Gagnon
You be my little boy getting me hoes, but you can't be in the Illuminati.
Alex Media
What do you think? Is this an actual hand thing or is this just like a random moment people took out of contact?
Akash Singh
The fact that she told him, yo, chill out. That I feel like.
Mark Gagnon
But then why would she tell him to chill out? Why wouldn't she just let him rock with it? Cuz she ain't down with the Illuminati. I think if any of our wives are in the Illuminati, they'd be like, no, I'm not comfortable with. With this.
Alex Media
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
I mean, yeah, rock. Let it go. Don't even bring attention to it.
Alex Media
People also pointed out that Trump didn't swear on the Bible.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. What do you swear on?
Akash Singh
He just didn't teach his hand on it.
Mark Gagnon
He had his right hand up. No, left hand on the Bible.
Andrew Schulz
Why not?
Akash Singh
I kind of respect that. Because he's like, I'm gonna be lying and doing, like, I can at least stay. Maybe there's chance I still go to heaven and like that. I respect it.
Alex Media
People, he knows he's gonna lie, so let me just swear on. The Chief justice started the swearing in before Melania walked up. So they start doing it and then Melania walks up and then he doesn't necessarily see it and doesn't put his hand on it.
Akash Singh
And then her hat was blocking it so he couldn't see.
Alex Media
Yeah, Great photo. But just another theory. What do you think?
Akash Singh
Explain, guys.
Alex Media
Satanic ritual.
Mark Gagnon
It's exhausting, dude.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Let's just get this all out of our system, you know? Like, let's just make some money, man. Let's just make. If you don't make money in the next four years, bro, you do not deserve. Deserve it. You do not deserve it. It's going to be easy to make money in the next four years. There gonna be no rules. Right? You could just do anything. Sell solar.
Alex Media
How's that fake? How's that fake?
Andrew Schulz
I don't know. It just seems like there should be.
Akash Singh
Seems like some. Right.
Andrew Schulz
But you could just sell it like, you could go anywhere and be like, yo, do you want solar? Boom, there you go, you got solar. And then you get a little piece of it.
Alex Media
But no, you got to put a pale.
Akash Singh
I just trade equities.
Alex Media
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Get your money up for the next four years because after this, the Democrats are gonna have to mop up all this shit and nobody making money for like 20 years. Okay. So you got a four year run.
Alex Media
There's people listening that don't know how to do it. They're like, oh, I want to make some money. What do they do?
Andrew Schulz
Take advantage of people who don't have money.
Alex Media
Okay. That's fire.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Alex Media
Okay.
Andrew Schulz
And if you're one of those people, take advantage of illegals.
Alex Media
Oh.
Andrew Schulz
Before they kick them all out, there's a very small window where you can use them almost as 45 more minutes. Minutes, yeah, exactly. That's what it is. No, no. I don't know, it just feels like. It feels like a lot of legislation is going to come down and then people who got money are going to run it the up.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I'm actually surprised to see if mortgage rates come down. I don't think they will because they got to do something to combat inflation. Right? Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
I also feel like we've been overdue for a recession for a long time. So a recession might hit and they're not going.
Akash Singh
I mean, I, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he signed an executive order just saying no, all departments just need to handle the home crisis. Like the housing crisis. Like, no specifics. It's just fix it.
Andrew Schulz
Fix it.
Alex Media
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
You know how you fix, to be honest, how you make more houses? Right. It's just like this is him to his real estate home. He's like, yo, run it up, Go build.
Mark Gagnon
Also, we're going to get some illegals out of their houses. So that'll open up now we got some space. You know what I mean?
Andrew Schulz
Now they don't take up that much space. That's the thing about illegals. I will say that they be mobbing up.
Akash Singh
And what else?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I'm not really.
Akash Singh
They're efficient.
Andrew Schulz
They are.
Alex Media
Do you want to go through some of the executive orders?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah. Because he did how many? No, actually, before we do that, can we talk a little bit about this, like, Biden pardon situation?
Mark Gagnon
Sure.
Andrew Schulz
Because you know, Biden pardon. Yeah, he not even talk about old shit, though. Well, let me tell you why we talk about all shit. I'm going to tell you why right now. Okay. Because Biden pardoned his family, which I get. I would have done that shit.
Akash Singh
I would done it even.
Andrew Schulz
And listen, you're a politician. You've been doing politics for like 60 years or however long he's been doing politics. Like, by the nature of the game, you've done some illegal, corrupt things.
Mark Gagnon
Absolutely.
Andrew Schulz
Okay? That's how your family gets rich. Maybe the money isn't sent directly to you. Maybe it's sent to your brother. Maybe it's sent to your cousin. Maybe it's sent to your nieces, your nephews, your kids. But there's some money being exchanged for favors. Okay? Now, if you send the book at Trump in the last four years trying to derail his. His road to a next presidency. Right. And you have every organization in your power attack him, you attack him financially, you attack him based on any sort of legislation that can exist, and it doesn't work, and he wins.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I feel like you might be concerned, or at least your family might be concerned, the people in charge of your state might be concerned that the same revenge, the payback would happen to you and your family. And you got way more corrupt shit.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
That can be unearthed. So I understand. Pardon a family fucked up. I understand it.
Akash Singh
And Trump alluded to coming after anybody who came, so.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, of course.
Akash Singh
So, yeah, Fauci, I didn't Trump. I could be wrong. I'm pretty sure he said, oh, I'm going to come after everybody. That had to do with the COVID relief. Like, he threw out a blanket statement.
Andrew Schulz
Trump said the vaccine was his. The Trump vaccine. But Fauci took the pardon. Fauci could say, I don't want the pardon. I don't think I did anything wrong. But he took the pardon.
Mark Gagnon
I don't blame anybody for taking a pardon.
Andrew Schulz
I do. Because now you're guilty. Because there are a lot of people that were on the January 6th committee city, they were offered a pardon and they said, no. They're like, I did my job. I was supposed to investigate this. I did what I was supposed to do. I don't want the pardon.
Akash Singh
If you're fouchy, you're not taking a part.
Andrew Schulz
What? What? What's in my arm?
Akash Singh
Yo, to us in your home, not mine.
Andrew Schulz
That's what I'm saying. What's in my arm? Why are you taking a part of what's in my arm? Yo, I don't care what's in my arm.
Akash Singh
I'm taking that part. I don't give a If.
Andrew Schulz
If I put some in my arm. You're not allowed to get pardoned. You told me I need to put some in my arm. Now you can't go get pardoned. You gotta. You gotta hold the weight of that decision. That's your job. What's in my arm, yo? I mean, what's about to come out.
Akash Singh
You ain't wrong. Like, it looks. It looks a suspect. It definitely looks crazy suspect.
Mark Gagnon
I think it's because they lied about knowing it was a man made virus, knowing it came from China, whatever. They were lying about the origins of it. That's what I. My first thought could be the vaccine too, but I don't. I tend to think it's. They covered up when they knew where it was from.
Andrew Schulz
You lie about one thing, you lie about the other. All of a sudden, you got to keep lying to keep up the lie. There's a lot of lies going on. What's in my arm, man? What is inside my arm?
Akash Singh
But you good.
Andrew Schulz
What's in my arm? I almost got a real booster. I had to get a fake booster to do that movie, Shout Out. Now, we could talk about this stuff legally.
Alex Media
Can you say that right now?
Andrew Schulz
Talk about this? Because Fauci got pardoned, so you going to have to pardon me for getting a fake booster so I could. And I know for a fact on that black ass movie, nobody. So I don't want nobody coming for me. I felt so comfortable telling everybody on that set, like, I ain't get that boost in there. Like, yeah, me neither. Everybody on that movie got fake backs.
Akash Singh
Snitching, bro.
Andrew Schulz
I'm snitching. Come on. He got pardoned. We all pardoned. Fauci's pardoned. I'm pardoned for doing the shit that he told me to do that he got pardoned for. Yes or no, Doug?
Akash Singh
Is he good?
Andrew Schulz
Yes or no? No.
Akash Singh
He burning this shit down to the ground.
Alex Media
Fake booster to do what is in your arm, bro. What was the fake booster? What's in my arm?
Andrew Schulz
Yo, what was that? What did Fauci make my wife get while she was pregnant with my daughter? Yo, what the fuck did Fauci make my wife get while she was pregnant with my daughter? Cause nyu, you couldn't go to school unless you had the.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, my wife had to get a booster too.
Andrew Schulz
Actually, she wasn't pregnant with my daughter.
Akash Singh
Yeah, time. Lots.
Andrew Schulz
I was hoping I was blaming that shit on the booster. We were struggling for a fucking year. I was like, this goddamn Fauci fucking boost is blocking me, bro.
Mark Gagnon
Could have been the first one.
Andrew Schulz
This could have been the first one that's facts. All I'm trying to say is why did I have to go to a Hasidic neighborhood in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to get a fake booster? Why did I have to go at 3pm to a Hasidic neighborhood in Brooklyn, okay, To go into a doctor's office, tons of strollers everywhere, Drunk ass doctor giving me shavas regal 12 year taking shots. Get a fake booster from him.
Mark Gagnon
You took those shots.
Andrew Schulz
I took all shots.
Mark Gagnon
That's a sick worker.
Andrew Schulz
R. You want to know some fucked up shit, huh? Low key. This is, this is a real story. We get the fake booster, we send it over. All right, we're good to do the movie now. Calls us back, we're like, yeah, this shit is fake. It's not even real booster. Free Palestine, bro. Once that shit happened, honestly, I was like, my heart goes out to you.
Alex Media
Did you act surprised? I know you acted surprised.
Akash Singh
I was going to be to say, yo, my heart goes out to you.
Andrew Schulz
All right, guys, take a break for a second. Listen, cash flow, cash flow, cash flow. Okay? Trump's America just started, so people haven't started making all that money that he promised us just yet. So you might need a little cash flow. You might need to do that when you bank with current. Current is going to open some up for you guys. When you switch your bank into current, you may qualify for paycheck advance up to 500, okay? If you need money right away, which most of us obviously do at some point, this is huge. Also with current, you can get paid up to two days faster. So you're not waiting around for the bank to give you that money that you earned. Also when you get that money, obviously be sensible with it, okay? You gotta be sensible with that. It's not free money. They're just giving you that advance that you know your money is coming back in. They also offer access fee, free overdraft and you can earn up to 4% on your savings. Okay? That means you got the money in there. It's in your savings account. Account with current. They're paying you 4% on that. That's a huge interest rate. And last but not least, banking with current offers you an opportunity to build your credit with no fees, no interest and no credit checks. So sign up to bank with current@current.com Flagrant 50 and use the promo code FLAGRANT50 to get all these features plus a $50 signing bonus. Terms apply. This is a paid advertisement. Now let's get back to the show. All right, guys, let's take a break for a second. Let's just be honest. Listen, a lot of homeowners right now struggling with debt, okay? Maybe you're upside down your mortgage, maybe you got credit card debt that's piling up and only getting higher because of inflation. Well, American Financing can help you. They give you loans using your home's equity. It's a family owned company. It's been around for a quarter of a century. Not bad if you ask me. Their mortgage consultants are also salary based. This is very important. They're not making money just by signing you up to any of these mortgages. That's dangerous because now they're incentivized to just get you to fucking sign. They're salary based, okay? They're going to make sure that they're going to get you the thing that's going to actually save you money. How much money can you save? Customers save $800 a month on average. That's a lot. That's rent for some of you. Think about that right now, okay? And you won't be charged any upfront or hidden fees. But don't just trust us. Obviously. Do your own research. You should go check out american financing.net flagrant or call 1-800-852-2010 to learn how home are saving $800 a month on average. Now let's get back to the show.
Alex Media
Did you see this girl that got the vaccine and then her boobs grew 20 sizes?
Andrew Schulz
Let me see this fat.
Mark Gagnon

Alex Media

Andrew Schulz
Oh, stop it. Come on. What is it called? Don't kick a gift horse in the mouth.
Alex Media
I mean, you definitely shouldn't do that.
Andrew Schulz
Don't kick a gift horse. How dare you walk up to a gift horse and kick it right in the mouth.
Alex Media
Yo, I got you a brand new horse.
Andrew Schulz
What do you think? I'm going to kick a gift horse in the middle? What is a gift horse?
Akash Singh
When has Pfizer done anything wrong? Come on. Shit.
Mark Gagnon
That's like Spider man suing Norman Osborn's company.
Akash Singh
Nah, man.
Mark Gagnon
You got superpowers on.
Akash Singh
She mad as a little lopsided. That's why, bro?
Alex Media
Apparently she's getting a reduct.
Akash Singh
It's a little lopsided.
Alex Media
She's getting it. She's getting it shaved.
Andrew Schulz
I need to see her jump.
Alex Media
All right.
Andrew Schulz
I need to see her jump. I need to see them things go. Nah, I need to see her jump right now. Mark, can you put that into Sora?
Alex Media
Yeah, I'll get AI on that.
Andrew Schulz
Can you see if Sora can make her jump? You can't ask a girl to jump in, mad. Is it 20, 25? I don't know if it was 24 or 25.
Alex Media
No, it's tricky. It changes like, all the vaccine, dude.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, it's that vaccine got you, bro.
Alex Media
You got fauci brain. Damn, dude.
Andrew Schulz
This motherfucker got us.
Akash Singh
Yeah. Eyesight started fucking up after you got the vaccine. That I remember.
Andrew Schulz
Did it?
Akash Singh
It didn't.
Alex Media
Yeah, you got asthma.
Andrew Schulz
Remember? You got asthma. I didn't get asthma.
Alex Media
You had a young.
Andrew Schulz
I had a hard time breathing because I was going through some fertility situations.
Alex Media
Or so you thought.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Or you think it was actually the vaccine? Absolutely. Could have been the thousand years.
Akash Singh
It had to be the vaccine.
Andrew Schulz
Why? Because I should be able to breathe. I used to tell myself that. Yeah. When I would have a hard time breathing, I'd be like, for what? I'd just go for.
Akash Singh
That's crazy. Come on, man.
Mark Gagnon
My heart goes out to your nose, man.
Andrew Schulz
Double down. Bad, yo. My heart goes down. It's just a bad thing that's gonna become a bad. Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
I never should have gave us it.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, no.
Akash Singh
See, Eli could do no wrong, man.
Andrew Schulz
Who else got parted? His family got parted. And then Trump pardoned all the January 6th people. Yeah, you got to do that.
Alex Media
I mean, he said he was going to, so.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, that's why he's got to do it.
Andrew Schulz
You got to do it optics wise. You can't leave them in there. If you said that they weren't doing anything wrong, but they said it was.
Akash Singh
Case by case, and then he just was like, no. Yeah, yeah.
Alex Media
Initially he was like, if you did like, violent crime, if you attacked a cop, like, we got to look at that. Da, da. And then now it looks like they're all good.
Mark Gagnon
I mean, they were doing it for him, so he couldn't not. But yeah, they should stay in jail, son.
Akash Singh
Officer died.
Alex Media
No, he care about it was vaccine related.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, yeah.
Akash Singh
No, but come on. Like, some people actually did violent. Like, not everybody should have been.
Mark Gagnon
I think they should all stay locked up. I think actually that was the one thing I didn't push back on when Trump was like, when Iran tried.
Akash Singh
Patriot or not, bro, do you want.
Mark Gagnon
Me to like him or not?
Akash Singh
Trust America, bro.
Andrew Schulz
What?
Akash Singh
Do you believe I'm trying to save my life back and forth. I said too many crazy things earlier.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. No, hey, I'm sure they'll like you. Hey, hey, there's a way you can get them to like you.
Akash Singh
I'm Marshall Walker, man. I'm one of the cool.
Andrew Schulz
It's. It is very easy for the Republicans to like you, though.
Akash Singh
Yeah, you just gotta tap dance.
Andrew Schulz
No, you know, meaning, like, they're way more accepting than Democrats.
Mark Gagnon
That is true.
Andrew Schulz
Like, all you need to do, they'll forgive you easier.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Like all you need.
Akash Singh
Democrats take blue hair, weird bitches. We are accepting one thing you don't like.
Mark Gagnon
Or if you say one thing about them weird you. How dare you say that thing.
Akash Singh
So Elon said, Let H1B. And they said, yo, get the out.
Andrew Schulz
Of go back to Africa. Yeah, but that is fire.
Alex Media
Telling him is you don't.
Andrew Schulz
Because you want to say that very often, but you can't finally have that moment where you can say, yo, go back to Africa. Yo. They can't just say everything either. Nah, we need to hit Elon with that. If he comes on the podcast, we got to send his ass back to. All right, but. But this is what I'm saying is that for so long, I think Republicans have had this kind of, like, victim or outsider mentality. So they've been made to feel like their. Their views are absurd and, like, bigoted and racist or toxic or radioactive. Right. So anybody who validates their views, they accept and they're willing to overlook a lot of other fuck. Shit.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Whereas Democrats have become, like, the norm. Right. And whatever they believed is what you should believe as a good person. So the second you veer off from what they believe, now you're not a good person. And now we're gonna finger wag and tell you how fucked up you are. So you can make the argument that the Republicans are way more accepting.
Mark Gagnon
They're the ones. Democrats are the ones pulling up old tweets. Oh, he said this thing. How dare he? There are people who hate fucking Trump now. They like Trump. The Trump people are like, yeah, that's what's up.
Andrew Schulz
Come.
Mark Gagnon
Come on in. We love you. Great. Welcome.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Now it's a smart. I'm not. I don't know if they're better people, but it's a smarter play. It's a much smarter play than. No, you said this thing we don't, like, fuck you, you're not welcome.
Andrew Schulz
But now this is actually good for Democrats because they realize they don't have everybody anymore. They're not the dominant cultural force. So they got to sit down and be like, shit, we were ostracizing people. People left us, man. We need to be a little bit more forgiving, a little bit more accepting. Now the Republicans are the dominant cultural force. They could be a little bit more discerning with who they accept. They might go, now. You can't just believe in one thing and get to ride with us. You better believe in all these things and get to ride with us.
Akash Singh
You saw they kicked out Vivek.
Andrew Schulz
So. So what do you think happened there?
Mark Gagnon
I think he tweeted that that really upset their far right wing fan base, which was like, remember when Everybody's upset about H1B? And he basically was like, that's Yalls fault. Americans teach our kids not to work hard. Hard. You've like.
Andrew Schulz
He basically said Americans weren't exceptional. Yeah. And the base turned on him.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. And I think that's when they were like, now we can't have it.
Andrew Schulz
This is very.
Akash Singh
He doesn't own X, so we can lose that guy.
Andrew Schulz
But this is very not Trump, like, because Trump usually rides hard for the people who've supported him.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, that's true.
Andrew Schulz
Who?
Akash Singh
That's true.
Andrew Schulz
Like, it's very rare for him to exile somebody.
Mark Gagnon
I think I also heard one rumbling that him and Elon were. They weren't. Elon was getting annoyed with him. And then Elon just won that. Get him out of here.
Andrew Schulz
So I heard a take. I don't know if he wants his.
Akash Singh
Vivek was like, yo, stop showing me your heart.
Mark Gagnon
No, but they were not happy with that tweet. They were there. If you'll notice, Vivek stops tweeting after that. He went radio silent.
Akash Singh
Oh, really?
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. I mean, just look back. We didn't see him tweeting a bunch of crazy.
Andrew Schulz
We didn't see him.
Mark Gagnon
Blah, blah, blah. Like, they were like, put a. Cut it out.
Andrew Schulz
I heard a take. And this is. If he wants to say that it was his take, he's more than welcome to. But he thinks that Vivek was pushed out because Vivek actually wants to make change. So Vivek actually wants to make radical change. Like when he came on the pod, the exact things that he was saying, I want to slash 50% of the people working in the FBI or 50% of the people working here. And they believe that Elon doesn't really care that much about making change. He cares more about executing the tasks at hand that would benefit him. So Vivek is. And if you remember on the pod, Vivek is a radical.
Akash Singh
Yes, very.
Andrew Schulz
Now, if you really truly believe in his philosophy, he's radically different than what the norm is right now. But you might think that that radical belief is the best possible thing for the country. And it's very like, interesting, charming and like, exciting when you hear what he has to say. Yeah, but if he came in with that energy, like, yeah, we're actually going to do it. We're going to drain the swamp. We're going to get rid of this bureaucracy, we're going to remove the managerial class. And then some other people are like, well, we need some managerial class, we need some bureaucracy. Like, you can't totally remove it. And he was like, no, no, no.
Alex Media
No, no, no, no.
Andrew Schulz
The only way we can do this is by removing it completely. It's a cancerous tumor. If you leave any in there, it just grows. So we got to leave it all out. And then they go, but that's too risky. What if it doesn't work out? And he's like, I'm willing for it to not work out. I'm willing to do that experiment. And they go, we can't risk the Republican Party failing because of your experiment. See you later. So maybe he has to prove it on a state level. Maybe he has to go to Ohio and do that exact thing and prove that it works. And then he can execute that at the federal level.
Akash Singh
Isn't that the place when he was campaigning and there was like multiple people said, I won't vote for him. Because he's brown.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, he's not brown.
Andrew Schulz
Or because he was a punja. Because he's a Hindu.
Mark Gagnon
Hindu.
Andrew Schulz
Hindu.
Mark Gagnon
I think it was Hindu.
Andrew Schulz
It's.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, same.
Andrew Schulz
Well, I thought it was about believing in Jesus, cuz the guy, they kept going like, well, do you believe Jesus, your Lord and savior? He goes, I believe Jesus is a prophet or I believe he is a God or whatever, but I believe in many gods. And they're like, that's not good enough.
Akash Singh
Yeah. So now you're going to go and try to run.
Mark Gagnon
You're not going to win. And this is Governor.
Andrew Schulz
You don't think he'll win? Governor.
Mark Gagnon
Governor. I don't think he could win Comp. Comptroller of Ohio.
Andrew Schulz
No way. Really?
Mark Gagnon
And I love Vivek. I'm. I'm the guy that thinks he's great. And I was very romanticized by what he said, but Ohio's Ohio. They're not voting for that motherfucker. I don't care if you're in the liberal ass, Columbus, you ain't winning nothing.
Andrew Schulz
I think he can win Ohio simply because if, if he continues having support for Trump because remember when 50 was on a pod and he was like, Listen, Eminem and Dr. Dre don't tour. I'm the closest thing that they get to experiencing Eminem and Dr. Dre. And he said that he felt like that helps him internationally when he's touring. Yeah, like all those people that are also M fans and Dr. Dre fans. Yeah, they get to almost experience that vicariously. If Vivek stays incredibly close to the Trump campaign, incredibly close to Trump, and Trump is shouting him out and he runs in Ohio, I believe the people of Ohio will be like, oh, yeah, we get Trump. And I think they with Trump.
Alex Media
I wonder if the Trump people know that. And they're like, hey, we're not going to like publicly kick you out. Just be quiet. Go run for governor and everything's cool. See how that goes.
Andrew Schulz
I think, I think that might be it.
Mark Gagnon
I hate that. Because his. He truly was about government efficiency. If you have a department of government efficiency, that was the drum he beat the loudest.
Akash Singh
Yes.
Mark Gagnon
He was the number one guy for that. So kicking him out before the, the term even starts. I, I took away a lot of hope I had for cutting because most of them are useless government employees. And I know you, you act like that's not a thing, but y'all are useless. You know it. And you could, we could cut like 70 of you and none of, none.
Andrew Schulz
Of us would notice.
Akash Singh
It's like, you know half families.
Mark Gagnon
So do poor people. You should be one of them. You know what I mean? You and an unemployment person do the same amount of work.
Alex Media
They're probably. What if they listen to this pod? What if they're. What if they're.
Mark Gagnon
I know government employees. They don't do. They're not even gonna do. They're not even mad at this. I put out a clip yesterday of me saying my father in law don't do. He texted me saying it was hilarious. He said, you're right. In my case. He said, in my case. But he knows it's every case. He just can't be honest.
Akash Singh
So you ain't do your taxes yet this year?
Andrew Schulz
Chill out.
Mark Gagnon
I pay my taxes.
Alex Media
You ain't do it yet.
Mark Gagnon
But even if I didn't, y'all wouldn't notice. Lazy. All right, now randomly auditing.
Akash Singh
I'm going have to move away from this guy radioactive.
Mark Gagnon
That's why he moving away.
Akash Singh
Allegedly. Allegedly.
Andrew Schulz
A lot of allegedly today.
Akash Singh
Yeah. No, this guy's wilding out right here. Who the is this guy?
Andrew Schulz
I don't know, bro.
Mark Gagnon
We are pretending government employees are useful.
Andrew Schulz
They are.
Akash Singh
Some of them. Some of them. Especially the ones.
Mark Gagnon
Most of y'all useless.
Akash Singh
Nah, the ones that IRS are great.
Alex Media
The post office, they work hard.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, my boy John employees doing jack right now. The USPS deliver me coupons I don't need.
Alex Media
They're in the snow.
Mark Gagnon
Bills, get out of here. I got auto pay.
Akash Singh
This guy's crazy.
Mark Gagnon
Find me a YouTube number.
Akash Singh
Yo, save your man, bro.
Mark Gagnon
Save your man.
Akash Singh
He's going, wow. All right.
Mark Gagnon
It's always Schultz's what I'm saying. Me, Vivek saying the same thing.
Akash Singh
Yes, you are.
Mark Gagnon
I can't be.
Akash Singh
They got Vivek the fuck out of here. Guess who's next.
Mark Gagnon
I don't want to be in no government position.
Alex Media
FBI. What about FBI? They stopped a lot of cases.
Mark Gagnon
Shut down the Hoover Building on day one. Cash Patel, my guy. Gush you up, talking that shit. Loved it.
Alex Media
Do you think Cash got Vivek out?
Mark Gagnon
No, dude, no. We don't like wasting money as Indians. Every Indian that comes in here is like, where's all this money going? The fuck is this?
Andrew Schulz
This guy's going, yeah, that is true.
Alex Media
That is true.
Akash Singh
I'm afraid of you right now. Trump said he's gonna release. What's it called?
Andrew Schulz
Jfk, mlk.
Akash Singh
Okay, here, let me save you real quick.
Mark Gagnon
Who killed jfk? Who do you think? Who do black people think did it? I just want. I just want. Let's run back this government.
Akash Singh
Do I have to give you my heart again?
Mark Gagnon
I just want to run back this government thing real quick. Who do we think killed jfk?
Akash Singh
I don't know.
Mark Gagnon
The Martin Luther King.
Alex Media
Are those. Are those government organizations?
Mark Gagnon
I just want to know because either you're pro black or you're not.
Alex Media
So you just tell me real quick where you stand.
Andrew Schulz
But what are you trying. I thought they. They did it efficiently.
Mark Gagnon
The God.
Andrew Schulz
Damn, that hurt. They did get them, right, like, it was pretty good. And then they covered it up to the point where it was pretty, like nobody really knows. I'm sure now this is back when there wasn't a managerial class.
Mark Gagnon
Done. I will say that. Two people, a two person job. The JFK thing. I got Jack. What's his name, and then Jack Ruby and Leo. Harvey. And we're good.
Alex Media
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Done and done. Satan, money.
Akash Singh
Jesus Christ. Isn't there a conspiracy that it was Jews that killed jfk?
Alex Media
Never heard that.
Mark Gagnon
You think that's going to make things better? You think you getting out of trouble?
Alex Media
Never heard that before.
Akash Singh
But I thought you were saying that last on Patreon.
Andrew Schulz
Tell us about it.
Alex Media
No, I actually don't know. Subscribe to Patreon.
Andrew Schulz
You paid your congestion price. Came in and blaming Israel for congestion prices. $9 to come into the city. Yeah. It's 2025.
Alex Media
They're the most congested.
Akash Singh
Yeah. So I guess Trump's America has changed. So.
Andrew Schulz
Hey, you can say whatever you want.
Akash Singh
Shoot.
Andrew Schulz
You can say whatever you want. You can say whatever you want. You can say whatever you want, girl. That's a beautiful thing. I know.
Akash Singh
This is gonna be some crazy tops. I'm waiting to see it. This is one.
Andrew Schulz
As long as it's everybody saying whatever they want. If it's everybody just fucking bitching and crying, I'm just, We got to do something.
Akash Singh
Yeah. Then we. Back in 2024. That bitch it.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Alex Media
Trump officially said there's only two genders. The view.
Andrew Schulz
Sexes or two genders.
Alex Media
I think it's two genders. Sexes. And then uses gender within the.
Andrew Schulz
In the text of it. Yo, here's my thing about that is like. And people like, oh, this is transphobic. It's like. But don't the trans just want to be two genders? Yeah, so he's. He's. He's not saying you can't be trans. You could be a trans man or a trans woman.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. Once you transition, you are that.
Andrew Schulz
You can't be in between. Shit.
Mark Gagnon
Well, we are gender affirming. That's actually gender affirming.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Very progressive.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, Very progressive policies. Think about it.
Alex Media
Yeah. This is the clip. You want to see it?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two gender genders, male and female.
Mark Gagnon
That's progressive, though.
Alex Media
Standing up.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, you gotta stand up for something that progressive.
Akash Singh
Well, sending a trans woman kid participate in sports. What other.
Andrew Schulz
No, those trans women are women. Al, you bigot. Yeah.
Akash Singh
So they can.
Mark Gagnon
Why would they not? They're women.
Akash Singh
Oh, okay.
Andrew Schulz
No, no, they can't participate.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, he was dunking with an Adam's apple.
Andrew Schulz
No, you can't participate. But outside of that, they could be women.
Akash Singh
Oh, yeah, we're on board with that. But the sports should chill, right?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, obviously.
Akash Singh
Okay.
Andrew Schulz
I just want to show I'm Trying.
Akash Singh
To feel y'all out. Y'all getting real cuckish around it. Tables is turn, yo.
Andrew Schulz
I'm trying to think.
Akash Singh
Yeah. Yes.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Alex Media
I don't know how you do the sports thing without. Without also being like, you're not.
Andrew Schulz
Some people can't do things. Like, some people got asthma.
Mark Gagnon
Some people can't.
Andrew Schulz
They really want to play sports. People with asthma, they really want to play, play. And they look at people playing basketball and they're like, I'd be really good at that.
Akash Singh
The asthma saved you.
Andrew Schulz
But you get what I say? Like, some people just can't do. You can't do everything you want.
Alex Media
But that's the opposite, though, because the trans women are dominating, whereas the asthma people are sucking.
Andrew Schulz
No, but they can't. What I'm saying is there's a rule, and you're not allowed to. That's fair. Yeah. And there's a rule. You're not allowed to play in the NBA if you got a heart condition.
Alex Media
Is that a rule?
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Remember, did they have somebody that's not in the NBA? Somebody had, like, aids, died. And then there was like, a college kid, whatever had a heart condition.
Mark Gagnon
He played in the NBA.
Andrew Schulz
They shouldn't allow that.
Alex Media
Well, now. Now, isn't he moving around? Is he still with the main roster?
Mark Gagnon
He's back in the G. That's why.
Alex Media
They moved him down, because he had a heart condition.
Andrew Schulz
That's his point.
Mark Gagnon
Bronnie was dominating the G League, but now he goes back and forth.
Akash Singh
Listen, it sucks snitching on James's.
Andrew Schulz
Yo, you know what? When there's enough trans that they have their own league, they could do that. That's the same thing as women. Like, women probably want to play professional sports. For 100 years, they were never allowed because they weren't good enough. Not even. They weren't allowed. It was like, you're just not good enough. Then eventually they started their. So when there's enough trans and it's interesting, then you'll have your own league. Until then, just play it as a hobby. Right, ladies? I mean, like, that's what we told women for decades. Play it as a hobby. Yo, you like football? Play it as a hobby. Then we made the lingerie league.
Alex Media
You could do that, you know, or co ed league. You do coed.
Andrew Schulz
Coed. If that works. Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Make a translate boxer, briefly.
Akash Singh
You would kill in coed. I don't know though, son. You would kill you.
Mark Gagnon
I don't know. I think you put me on a team, I wouldn't have much of A role. I wouldn't really do anything. And then you would cut me. Because that's what you're supposed to do when somebody's just wasting your resources.
Andrew Schulz
Haven't they been cut enough? I just. I don't know. What would you do with them, Al? You'd let them compete?
Akash Singh
No. Wait. How you putting that on me?
Andrew Schulz
I'm just saying, you. You were posing a question, so I just want to know your answer.
Akash Singh
Because y'all said that there's only two genders.
Andrew Schulz
Can they swim or not?
Akash Singh
Just two genders.
Andrew Schulz
Can they swim or not?
Akash Singh
It depends.
Andrew Schulz
What if they cut the rudder?
Akash Singh
Are they black or what?
Andrew Schulz
Are they allowed to compete with the women?
Mark Gagnon
It is funny. It is funny.
Andrew Schulz
That comes down on a sailboat to keep it from sliding around on the top of the water.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, it's a dick joke.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Alex Media
You'Ll learn to sail, bro. Come on.
Akash Singh
Nah, we good.
Mark Gagnon
It is funny. I really care about the trans, though, because it's like, when have we ever cared about women's sports? I don't give a.
Andrew Schulz
It's. That's the thing. It's not about. And I was saying this earlier. This kind of dawned on me recently.
Akash Singh
WNBA is just getting good.
Mark Gagnon
I didn't go to a game. I was lit.
Andrew Schulz
But, like, it's not about the trans thing specific specifically. It's just the most egregious observ. It's the. It's the most egregious example of one party, or not even a whole party, but, like, a group of people in that party not being willing to acknowledge something absurd.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And it starts with. This starts with things that, like, aren't even that absurd, but you want them to acknowledge it.
Mark Gagnon
Like, elon thing.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, no, that's super absurd. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's like, a really absurd thing. I'm saying within. Like, let's say there are certain things that. Like Democrats who are either defending or gaslighting.
Mark Gagnon
Okay.
Andrew Schulz
Like, I'm trying to give an example of, like, a more almost neutral one that you wanted them to go, ah, this is kind of weird. But then it's not really like that.
Mark Gagnon
We kept adding genders.
Andrew Schulz
We were talking about this yesterday, the drag queen thing. Like, even less than that. Like, I'm trying to think.
Akash Singh
Like, the.
Alex Media
EV quotas or, like, voter ID laws.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, here's an example. Like. Like, voter ID laws. You go like, hey, should we have people provide an ID to go vote? And they're like, how could you do that? That's racist. You're like, what do you Mean, it's racist. Like, you need an ID to go on a plane. Like, why don't you need an ID to go to the. I need an ID to go to the gym. I can't go lift weights up and down.
Alex Media
You need an ID to get vaccinated.
Andrew Schulz
You need an ID to get vaccinated, but you don't need an ID to vote for the person that's putting the fucking thing in my arm. That is a little absurd. But you say that, right? You go, hey, why? Why? Why can't you do it? And then they go, it's racist. These people don't really have ids. That's racist. And the internal feeling is, I'm not racist. Why are you calling me racist? For asking, like, a pretty normal question. Right? And then you go, I kind of get what they're saying. That, like, it, you know, it's a disadvantage of certain people, and they might not have the resources or the time to go do that. It's still bullshit. But, like, they kind of have a point.
Akash Singh
Yep.
Andrew Schulz
And then you keep on going up the ladder of more and more and more absurdity. Right. You do like, the drag queen brunch.
Alex Media
And you're like, why are they not reading to kids?
Andrew Schulz
Drag queens. Drag Queensland. The drag queen's reading the kids. You're like, drag queens reading to the kids. And they go, well, why can't they? These are artists. They're entertainers. It's beautiful. We bring entertainers all the time into school. Like, what's the difference between that? A drag queen and a ballerina. A drag queen and a gymnast. They're just an entertainer. Why are you making this a sexual thing? And you go, yeah, but, like, it's still weird, but I kind of get what they're saying. And you just keep escalating that. And then the final ball boss Bowser, is dudes that have chopped off their dicks or have.
Mark Gagnon
We're not even.
Andrew Schulz
And then are competing against women in a sport and absolutely dominating them. And you're like, can you acknowledge that this is unfair? And they go, what are you, a bigot? And then so now it becomes about trans when it's not even trans. The issue isn't even about trans. It's about one part party gaslighting, essentially, and not willing to acknowledge the absurdity. And if all the Democrats start doing is going, I see why it might make some people uncomfortable to have a drag queen come and read to the kids, especially if they're familiar with, like, drag culture, which is very, like, raunchy if they hired Andrew Schultz to go read to the kids, I'm sure there's some parents who be like, yeah, I like that comedian. But like, he's kind of filthy and he says some edgy stuff. Why is he reading to the kids? Does he have like a child act that he does? If you hire. Who's a clean comedian, Nate Borgazzi or Jim Gaffigan to read to kids? Nobody's. You. You let your six year old watch their comedy anyway. Yeah. So it's not a big deal. Right. So I think that's what it comes down to. And then, of course.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, getting gender reassignment surgery without telling the parents. The school being like, hey, we'll help you. You don't have to tell your parents. It's like, you have a kid that's 12 years old and be like, I need to be a part. What the fuck is going on? Who's raising my kids?
Andrew Schulz
So it feels. And it's because the trans thing is the most egregious example. Example of them gaslighting and not being willing to acknowledge the ridiculousness. It's just the most egregious one. We just talk about it non stop, but in reality, they're a placeholder. Nobody. Yeah, most people don't really care about trans and they might disagree with the lifestyle.
Mark Gagnon
That's a great take.
Andrew Schulz
But they, they probably disagree with gay marriage and these other things that they just ignore every single day.
Alex Media
And by not acknowledging certain unfairnesses, it makes it harder for trans people.
Andrew Schulz
Yes.
Alex Media
Because now you make this like a huge hinge issue that now trans people to be like, bro, I'm just trying to feel good in my body. And they're like, well, what do you think about the athletes? You're like, bro, I don't have anything.
Andrew Schulz
To do with that. Exactly.
Alex Media
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And it's. It's more of a. A cultural issue, political. Cultural issue between parties and just a social issue amongst Americans than it is actually about trans. They're just the most absurd version of it, and you have to go to the most absurd version to prove your point. And it still isn't working sometimes. That last one about the gender reassignment surgery for kids, it's like, that's even higher. Right? We're going, okay, okay. Trans adults, you're like, okay, it's their body. They can do whatever they want. Like, yeah, they shouldn't compete against women, but, like, you shouldn't. I'm not against you. Do what you want. Your body. And then they're like, all Right. Should kids be able to do it?
Mark Gagnon
You're like, your kids without telling.
Andrew Schulz
Without telling you. And you're like, oh, they certainly won't do that. Like, they certainly won't defend a kid not telling you that he's taking hormone blockers when he needs to ask me if he can go to the museum on a school trip.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Like, he needs my signature for him to take a sex ed class in school, but not to grow tits at 14. Like, you go, you, you certainly will push back against this. And they go, no, we have to protect these kids. You're like, okay, Trump is going to be president forever.
Alex Media
And then after enough time, if Republicans are the dominant cultural force for a long time, the inverse will happen.
Andrew Schulz
Absolutely.
Alex Media
Where the stuff is going to happen if people are like, oh, well, you got to call this crazy.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Alex Media
You can't just kick everyone out.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Alex Media
No, I mean, it's going to be.
Mark Gagnon
The opposite where they liberals made you feel racist and bigoted for any belief, and then Republicans are going to do any racist, bigoted thing. You're going to be like, well, that's crazy. You can IGN and be like, no, it's just. It's a Roman.
Alex Media
It's a Roman sign.
Akash Singh
It's a salute from the pendulum is going to swing back. You're going to be very interesting.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, it will, it will. And you're 100% right. Where it's like, yeah, when it comes to. It'll be like gun stuff. You know, it already has happened with gun stuff. It's like, how many school shootings do we have to have before for gun owners go, okay, well maybe we gotta, we gotta do something about this. And the reality is most gun owners go, yeah, we should do something. We should have more checks. We should have. We shouldn't have situations where you can buy guns at like a fucking school fair.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Or whatever it is that thing that happens in the parking lot.
Akash Singh
Like, so, so most, yeah, most gun owners agree with background checks, background checks, senators and you know, law makers there against it because they're getting paid by nra.
Andrew Schulz
And then they say it and then we're like, we feel gaslit. We're like, oh, hold on, you can acknowledge. Got to do something different. And they're like, more guns. The teachers have guns. The students should have guns. There should be guns. There should be drone guns in the classroom. Like, why? What's going on here? Like, how many shootings are there at the airport? There's like, none.
Alex Media
Oh, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
There's like zero shootings at the Airport.
Alex Media
It's my dream to get in a fight at the airport because then it's just fair. It's, it's like, like you're not going to pull a knife out. Two, a man and a woman is.
Andrew Schulz
Going into that terrace. But yeah, it's like, I think those are the situations that drive us crazy and really polarize people, if I'm being honest. Yeah, we talk about like the polarization all the time in politics, but like that's where it comes from. It's just not acknowledging the absurdity. If you were around a school shooting, your kid was affected by school shooting and you complained and someone was like, we need more guns in schools, you'd go, oh, they're evil. They'll never change. Their answer is more gut. I'm going to be the biggest progressive left wing forever.
Alex Media
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And vice versa.
Alex Media
All the people that consider themselves moderate, they call out the left for doing crazy. I think in the event that that happens over the next 4, 8, 12 years also have the same responsibility to call out the crazy that happens when it shifts too far the other way.
Andrew Schulz
Well, that's. Oh yeah. I mean, that's why, that's why. I mean, I thought they were very kind to ask me if I want to go to the inaugural. Right. And I'm sure that that invitation would have been extended to all of us and. But yeah, that's why I didn't want to go. I was like, I'm a comedian first. Like my, I don't want to be a fan of a political group.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And then seemingly the optics of it support everything that they do. I understand it's like a fun event. And some people just went because it's a fun event. I get that. I've had friends even hit me up. They're like, listen, I don't care who. I just wanted to be there for this moment. Not oftentimes do you get invited to inaugur. I get that short, short, short. But my feeling is like the second people see me as one sided and there already are people that see me like I'm on one side, if I go to the inauguration, I'm definitely framed as right wing Trump guy. And then when I say something like I've said today about the Democrats and their philosophies and their ideology that I think is like causing a little bit of distrust, people are just going to write it off as, oh, that's another Republican just criticizing the dust and vice versa. I'm gonna make fun of these for the next four years. You know, So I don't know. As a comedian, I feel like that your. The perceived neutrality is really important. Otherwise every joke angle is predictable. It's the same criticism they say about like snl. I think the less maybe so now, but like you could just predict the angle every single time. Especially like even during COVID days. Like I know it. Like when Jimmy Kimmel goes up there, I know you're gonna cry about. About something. I know it. Right. Something really affected you and you're gonna cry. I know it.
Akash Singh
No, but that was just white dudes met gala. So they all wanted to be there. They wanted picture and everything.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I get it. I get it. That makes sense. It's just me personally, just as far as comedy goes. I don't want you to frame me in any way because I always want to be able to surprise you. And I don't want the. I don't want Trump and them to have this expectation that I'm going to dick ride for four years. Like you have made fun of. Of two.
Alex Media
Yeah. Some policies are good, some policies are bad.
Andrew Schulz
And you don't.
Alex Media
You don't want to be beholden to have to sit on one side or the other.
Akash Singh
But if you say some crazy, it's just satire and you shouldn't go after the person saying it.
Alex Media
I agree, I agree. Unless it's after you, which would be very funny. I would enjoy that a lot.
Andrew Schulz
I think that would be very humorous.
Akash Singh
I'm sitting. Yes. Be like the guy in the middle of the.
Andrew Schulz
All right, guys, take a break for a second. I just need to tell you about starting a business here for a second.

Let's get back to the show.
Alex Media
All right, so day one, Trump saved TikTok. He announced that he was issuing an executive order to extend the time before TikTok's law would take effect.
Mark Gagnon
God bless.
Andrew Schulz
This is an interesting one, the tick tock situation, because it seems like it should be so easily replaceable. Like it seems like I should go on to reels and it should just have a little button and it's like whatever kind of tik tock sounding word, Tick tock. And then what is it? Tik it Tik boom. And it's just like that's, that's it right there. We got it. Like how the is answers do that?
Akash Singh
Boom.
Andrew Schulz
But how is Tik Tok's algorithm so much better?
Mark Gagnon
China's AI, I think, is way ahead of ours. Is that, that's, that's what, that's what this leads me to believe we can't even replicate the social media app. That's what scares me about China more than anything. We cannot. Our American AI, with as much innovation as we have, cannot touch this.
Andrew Schulz
I thought we control AI. Yeah, I thought we were like way beyond.
Mark Gagnon
Then why can we not get this algorithm?
Alex Media
I have no idea. I don't even know.
Mark Gagnon
People work at Tik Tok are like, we don't have any clue how this algorithm works.
Alex Media
It might not even be AI. I wonder if it's just a Chinese dude. That just shows you you like, you know what I mean? Like, I wonder if they have the manpower to have one guy for every person and they just show you. They're like, yo, Schultz loves this right here, bro. Show him a guy doing a funny thing.
Akash Singh
There is enough of them.
Alex Media
That's what I'm saying. Like, it's beyond AI.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I just. I don't know.
Akash Singh
It's funny because it's like I. I was not upset that it was going away because it's.
Mark Gagnon
Me neither.
Akash Singh
The one that I still don't know how to use. I was just being a hater and then as like. But I think this was like Trump's play for a while. Like he already knew he was going to bring it back because it's like when it came back, the message was, oh, we worked with Trump to bring. He just wanted a nice little slam dunk for the United States.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, 100% he gets the slam dunk.
Mark Gagnon
It is peculiar, but the liberals handed him that.
Akash Singh
But he wanted it at first.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, it's just like, I don't know, the last four years. Yeah, he wanted us first. And it would seem that the more patriotic position position is to remove the Chinese spyware from your citizens phones. That's the more patriotic position. But somehow his supporters, who in a more traditional sense you would argue are more patriotic than the Dems are saying, hey, this is awesome, you're keeping it. I'm just so confused by this.
Mark Gagnon
You go, freedom speech. I actually talk to.
Andrew Schulz
But it's not free speech. It's free. Steal all of our data and give it to.
Akash Singh
The weirdest thing is when it was going away, everybody was downloading the red something.
Alex Media
Yeah, Red.
Andrew Schulz
They were going even crazy. Maybe that's why. Maybe they're like, listen, we need to keep Tik Tok before they just give everything to China.
Alex Media
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
So I talked to the congressman, Rohit Khan did a, like a petition to save TikTok.
Akash Singh
Yo, you bought bro.
Mark Gagnon
Actually he's a Democrat, but he's Cool. He's like a Bernie type Democrat. But he was saying, I just thought it was overreach where, like there were much more narrow social solutions. You could just pass a petition like, hey, you guys can keep Tick tock here, but our data can't go to you.
Andrew Schulz
Or for example, that's what they say now.
Mark Gagnon
But yeah, so like he's like, there were much more solutions. And then he goes, I can't help but notice the timing once Israel, Palestine starts really popping up. And Tick Tock seemingly has a lot more pro Palestine people. All of a sudden Congress is bringing back this Trump thing that was kind of dead before. Hey, we need. Now Tick tock is a problem. We need to get it out of here. And he goes, the timing, to me, it was just. I thought it was suppressing freedom of speech. It was too suspicious.
Andrew Schulz
Now, another way to look at that is a fire take is you were saying that TikTok on the. On the app, there's way more pro Palestinian perspective.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, Right. It seems.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I agree with you.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Another way to look at that is if China wants to sow political unrest in America, it bolsters the opinion that is not shared that much on the.
Alex Media
Mainstream media or it's shared by the government at large. Like if the government is supporting Israel and they go, oh, let's just do the thing the government isn't supporting.
Andrew Schulz
Exactly. Because we want to convince people that the government is against their interests.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And now you just have infighting in America, especially a time where there's a complete distress of the government. There's this distrust of mainstream media, pharmaceutical companies, prison, compl. Everything. There's distrust. So you can sow that. And that's why it's dangerous to have an app that's that powerful.
Mark Gagnon
Aren't there so many issues? Every social media app has divided us on every issue. It doesn't matter. Every George Floyd, whatever. Every issue. All social media does is divide us. Facebook, X, whatever this election, we are divided all of a sudden on this one. Now this is where America is going to really tear itself apart.
Andrew Schulz
But it's not just this one. I think Twitch you saw it as well. Look, it could be what it could be what your guy is saying. There is also a possibility it could be something else. And the reason why they suggest it is because that's probably exist. Exactly what we do in every other country, probably.
Mark Gagnon
No, I don't.
Andrew Schulz
You know what I mean? Like if I'm America and the ops got Facebook, you gonna get some pro American in that Facebook and it might not be American flags looking crazy. It just might be cool videos where people in America are good looking, they're driving awesome cars and they're enjoying their food.
Alex Media
Or there's a civil war in a country that we're beefing with and you can stoke one side or the other.
Andrew Schulz
It's a dangerous.
Alex Media
Now the difference with US companies is that we, we can bring them in front of Congress and like, we can bring these up like, yo, what are you doing? Show us your files. We're subpoenaing all your back end shit.
Andrew Schulz
We can't do that to the ducks.
Mark Gagnon
We did bring him in front of Congress.
Andrew Schulz
We can't take ggping and bring him in front of Congress. We could put his lemming there and he's just going to be like, I don't know what you're talking about. And they'll kill that. They'll kill the guy who owns it. China don't give a. They brought the billionaire dude that owns it into a basement for two weeks.
Akash Singh
But like, is it the.
Andrew Schulz
Remember, they just. He just went ghost for like two months. Like one of the most powerful human beings on the planet.
Mark Gagnon
But with Jack Ma still Alibaba.
Akash Singh
I think with your theory, is it chicken or the egg? Because it's like a lot of young people were pro Palestinian and we saw that live out. Like we saw that in colleges. We saw that on the streets and protests and all that shit. So is it China trying to push this message and it's convincing young people to be pro Palestinian or they really were pro Palestinian?
Andrew Schulz
I think it's chicken. No, no, no, no.
Alex Media
So there you go.
Andrew Schulz
No, no, no. I actually mean that seriously.
Akash Singh
I knew you would say chicken.
Andrew Schulz
I mean that seriously as chicken. A meeting. I think young people were pro Palestinian. A lot of these kids on college campuses were pro Palestinian. I think you saw these views in. I think in like intellectual discourse a lot. And I think that matriculated onto social media apps. And then if I'm China and I saw any unrest in a country that I'm somewhat opposed to.
Akash Singh
Push the gas.
Andrew Schulz
Put the gas. That's so it's not like they're making up something got you, but they're putting.
Akash Singh
The gas on it.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. And they might not. Not at all, but they could. And it's like, it's almost like, would you want China to have the codes to like any door in your castle? It's like you're like, yeah, they only got the codes to one door. It's like, I don't Want them to have it to any. And the fact that we have no social media in China lets us know that they don't want us to have the codes, nothing at all.
Alex Media
And then add a layer to it for sure. Meta. And Zuckerberg and every other, like social media owner and class is putting pressure on the government to be like, yo.
Andrew Schulz
Exactly, because the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Why do I got to compete with this shit?
Mark Gagnon
I'm a little curious if Zuckerberg is like super hard, right? Pivot is trying to cozy up to Trump more and more and help him be like, you know, maybe we get this, bro.
Andrew Schulz
You build a business that big, you're a government employee. Now that's a utility. Amazon is a utility. Google's a utility. Facebook or Meta, whatever it is, is a utility. You work for the government, right? The government's going to call you. That's the only person can tell you. What do you know? You're not like a. You're not like Equinox. You don't own like a business that you franchise and you kind of do whatever you want with it. It's like the way that your business works affects elections, it affects ideology, and you will get calls from the president about that shit. So he better cozy up.
Akash Singh
So is this Trump giving in to the will of the people? Because you know Zuck and you know Elon would want TikTok gone.
Andrew Schulz
I'll tell you one thing, the only people. Trump is a Trump.
Akash Singh
TikTok is the people.
Andrew Schulz
Trump is a mirror to the will of the people. And that is why he is so effective. His strategy from early on was recognizing sentiments from the people that were just not politically recognized at all. He is a mirror. So if they feel something, he feels it. And I think that's his natural way of being. I don't think he's like this stubborn guy that only feels one way. And the Roger, like, he was a Democrat, yeah, he could. Now he's a Republican. Like, he's. He's more of like a mirror to their will and their sentiment. Now he doesn't feel, I imagine, that the super progressive left wing philosophy is real. Like, I don't think that he believes that people actually feel that way. Does that make sense? I think he's like, all right, some fringe groups do, but I don't know if that's like, what the American people feel. And I think, yeah, I think he's just really good at that. Like, Bernie is just authentically himself. When it wasn't popular, he felt this way now that it is popular, he feels this way, the pendulum could swing away. He'll still feel that way. And sometimes these, like, authentically driven human beings meet a cultural necessity, and then you can become these superstars or whatever it is. Apparently, yeah.
Alex Media
Apparently the Tick Tock CEO went to Trump's inauguration.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, he was there.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Alex Media
Kind of indicating like, yo, I'm down to work. And Trump is offered like a 55, 50 deal. They also thank Trump.
Andrew Schulz
In the thank you message on TikTok.
Mark Gagnon
Sign back on, go, go, go, go. He said something like, thanks to President Trump's efforts, we're going to keep TikTok alive and try to find a solution.
Andrew Schulz
Keep it alive. Like, I like American competition. Like, yo, Zuck, beat this shit.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. That is where it seems a little anti American is, hey, here's the best guy, let's stomp him out. And that is the number one thing these uber rich guys always talk about. The thing that makes America, America great is free enterprise.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Free market.
Mark Gagnon
You think you're. You want me to take me down, build a better product. Yep, they build a better product and now you have a problem with it. And I think China inspires a convenient thing to put on it.
Andrew Schulz
Sure. Now I'm totally cool one. I have more confidence than China in our culture. Like, I'm okay with them sharing. Like, let's say there was more like, Chinese on Tick Tock. I'm like, run it, let's go. Great. We like it. Like, I think our culture is cooler, so we're gonna win if they're fair exchange. But I'm totally cool if China makes tons of money off of it. Create something cool for the world, profit off it. That's great. It is a concern about the data transfer. Transfer. So if we found out 100% for certain that the data never left America and it was completely closed in, but they were still able to profit from the business, make all that money, dude, you made something great. We buy Chinese products all the fucking time. We're wearing China right now. So we're not against Chinese. We're just against the idea that they could influence our culture in a way that was advantageous to them.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, yeah.
Akash Singh
And I think you've said this before. You give us one, we give you one. That's it. One. Social media.
Andrew Schulz
Take Black Planet.
Akash Singh
Yo, black panties be fine.
Andrew Schulz
What was Black Planet like?
Akash Singh
It was Black Planet, but like, it.
Andrew Schulz
Was just like MySpace for black people.
Akash Singh
Yeah. And then there was the Spanish one. Mi gente. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. Good Old days.
Andrew Schulz
And it was black. Only you couldn't get on there if you're white.
Akash Singh
I got a threesome off of Black Planet. That was nice.
Mark Gagnon
So they let white women on.
Alex Media
Wow.
Andrew Schulz
I was trying to set that. Got that.
Mark Gagnon
But to your point, that's what this guy kind of was saying about like, yeah, there's solutions. I'm not saying it's perfect, but it does seem like a very odd overreach solution to be like, ban it. It's out of here. Whereas you could be like, no, make them take one of ours. Fine. The data can't leave their solution. And I do think Trump will find that solution.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I mean, like, the fact that.
Akash Singh
Dude is at the inauguration, he's definitely kissing the ring. And he's going to work with him, bro.
Andrew Schulz
He's going to. This is. We spoke to him. The one takeaway I had from our conversation is he just likes making deals.
Mark Gagnon
He loves negotiat.
Andrew Schulz
He loves negotiating. He don't like none of this other. He likes negotiating and he likes entertaining. He likes talking in front of people. He has some fun with the attention. But he likes, he likes winning deals. And like, I mean, if you even want to, people respect him more than Biden. Like the deal that Israel and, and Hamas got is the same deal that by administration offered them. You know that, right? It's the exact same deal. There's one difference. And that Trump called up Netanyahu and he said, do what you're told, boy. And he did it. They said, do what you're told, boy. And then he did it. Simple as that. He goes, you get no more weapons, you're no more nothing. I told you I want the world and it's over. Simple as that.
Akash Singh
I think it's a double win. That was them working together, bro.
Andrew Schulz
Who was that?
Akash Singh
I would say part Biden win, but definitely Trump pushed it over the line. Like, it couldn't have happened without Trump. But Biden, they were working on that deal for a long time. They just not. They didn't. They just don't want to give.
Andrew Schulz
They don't want to give no credit to what.
Mark Gagnon
Biden is adorable. What you're doing is absolutely.
Akash Singh
This guy, he's going out bad, man.
Andrew Schulz
Let me tell you something.
Akash Singh
Like, all they care about is legacy. Democrats so bad.
Mark Gagnon
Let me get a couple. Deserve to go out bad. Biden's legacy is his last debate. You go out bad, Comma's legacy is you got your ass beat. You go out bad.
Alex Media
This is what Biden said. His key regret for his presidency was.
Andrew Schulz
Walking in the sand.
Akash Singh
Riding a bike.
Alex Media
Not taking more credit for his accomplishments.
Akash Singh
See, talk that shit.
Alex Media
That was his key regret.
Akash Singh
I don't know what you did, but talk that shit.
Alex Media
Not taking credit.
Andrew Schulz
See, everybody want to be Trump. Yo, everybody want to be Trump. If Trump had never existed, a president would never say anything like, absolutely, absolutely. Because the president serve. Because president serve.
Akash Singh
Fucking.
Andrew Schulz
He never did Obamacare.
Alex Media
I mean, also, do you want to.
Andrew Schulz
See now, to be honest with you, Obamacare, I think that was one of the smartest things for Obama's legacy. I know there are a lot of people who hate it. Republicans use it as like a, you know, like a. What is it? Like a leverage tool to show how horrible he is. And there are a lot of people just say Obamacare's bad, that, like, aren't even signed up to Obamacare. They have no fucking clue what it is. They also have seemingly no empathy to all the people with preexisting conditions that were helped. I was speaking to this dude.
Akash Singh
So many people are on Obamacare right now. It's the Affordable Care.
Andrew Schulz
Did I, Did I say. Did I say that on this pod story? I forget. It was brilliant. But, like, I met this dude who. Intimately involved in the Republican campaign and we were hanging out. He's a nice guy. He goes, he's like, listen, I'm Republican. My dad was a coal miner in Ohio. Like, you know, and he goes, to this day, if anybody says anything bad about Barack Obama, he'll punch your teeth right out of your face. I go, why? He goes, my dad had preexisting conditions. He was, you know, he's getting bounced around from insurance to insurance. Hospital's not taking him, like he was going to die. My dad's alive. He has Barack Obama. So you can't say anything bad about Barack Obama. And I think that's the thing that Republicans miss about the Affordable Care act or the Obama act is those like Bernie constituents that, like those Republicans that kind of gravitated towards Bernie and his messaging. Remember when Bernie was really popping and those working class Republicans that are put into like, really shitty positions where they have a lot of health issues because of the jobs that they're doing. Their lives were saved by that Affordable Care act and Obamacare. So when you just yell out, Obamacare is crushing America. America. Is it crushing America or is it saving hard working Americans that you pretend to care about and love, bro, because you want to care about them all the time, but we got to help these people. And then when they're like, yo, my, my. My lung cancer needs to be treated. Obamacare is doing that. And they're like, oh, don't worry about that.
Akash Singh
Well, exactly. You know, it was favorable by both sides. Trump tried to undo it, like, 20 times. They couldn't undo the shit because he was like, yeah, no, it's too popular.
Andrew Schulz
And, And I don't know if that's Barack. Barack's fault or it's the healthcare system's fault and the insurance company is gouging the American people. I think it's very convenient. And again, I don't know enough so somebody could be like, yo, Schultz, you have no clue what you're talking about. You're right. But my suspicion. Yeah, you know, Flagger. But my suspicion is that, like, it's a very easy political win to just blame it on Barack.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. Because the insurance companies have fucked everything. Healthcare's broken, and it's called Obamacare. That guy's a problem. But you also could say whoever's in power for the last hundred years has let health insurance get to this point and the cost of medical care get to this point where they can just fuck us at every turn and we just deal with it.
Andrew Schulz
But what's so interesting is, like, those same exact people are upset with the pharmaceutical companies. They're upset with the healthcare industry. So it's like Barack Obama's bad for trying to make sure everybody got health care. But also the healthcare companies are bet like, Barack Obama made it expensive, but also the health care companies are gouging. It's. To me, I see some inconsistencies.
Alex Media
Yeah, it's opposing sides trying to shift blank.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, that's what all this is.
Akash Singh
And it's the insurance fault and it's pharmaceutical companies fault.
Mark Gagnon
And I think both sides have let them just run amok.
Andrew Schulz
I would like to talk to an insurance. I would like to talk to, like, an insurance expert and just have them sit here and break down, like, how insurance companies gouge. Gouge. There's probably a position that they're arguing from too, which is where we just shoot them. No, no. I don't know. But like, I'm sure they have. I'm sure they have some argument. I don't know what. What exactly it is.
Mark Gagnon
Pharmaceutical companies, medical care. Like, the cost of an MRI to the hospital is like. Or an MRI machine is, like, astronomical. The cost of all these things is so inflated. And so it just. Yeah, everybody's just being greedy at the top, and then we're kind of having to suffer the consequences.
Andrew Schulz
And then every time we're like, all right, we should just do national health care. You see some video pop up of, like, a line of 3,000 people in Canada trying to get their foot checked out, and they're like. They told me my next appointment is eight months from now.
Mark Gagnon
When I talk to Canadians, they don't love their health care. Yeah. I got a friend whose knee is. Because it was like, an unqualified doctor doing the surgery, blah, blah, blah, whatever, Red tape. And his knees just.
Alex Media
Canada's tricky because a lot of those places, you can't. You can't get a private opinion.
Andrew Schulz
They don't even have it as an option.
Alex Media
Yeah, A lot of them, like, a lot of depending on your specific thing. Like, if you have a back issue, you might not be able to go to a private person and pay out of pocket. They say you have to go through the system.
Akash Singh
We wouldn't have that problem. Canadians are too nice. Americans. We wait that long, we gonna start yelling. We're not gonna be nice about it.
Andrew Schulz
I'm telling you.
Alex Media
I just wonder if you could do both, like public school, private school.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
In Europe you have that.
Alex Media
Yeah.
Akash Singh
So they have the public system, and then if you have enough money, you can do private system.
Andrew Schulz
This is two out of every three Canadians have private health insurance right here.
Alex Media
Oh, really?
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Alex Media
Yeah, I think they do that in Canada.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Alex Media
Peter Atia told me that, bro.
Andrew Schulz
His feelings. No fat. Right.
Mark Gagnon
Get him on here. Y.
Akash Singh
Let get back to our n. But we need like a. Either like a AOC or a Bernie to just explain that.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, bro, I don't even want AOC or Bernie. I want someone that's inside the medical app or apparatus. I want them to speak.
Akash Singh
They're going to be like, tainted.
Andrew Schulz
Good.
Mark Gagnon
Get an X. Get a Andrew Bustamente for the health insurance companies.
Alex Media
Yeah, he left.
Mark Gagnon
Now he's ready to talk. That or she.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, but, like, I want to hear their argument. They have to have an argument. Besides, hey, we try to make as much money as possible. We don't care if y'all die. That might be part of it, but there has to be some other argument. Otherwise everybody that works in healthcare is enabling it. It's kind of up.
Akash Singh
Nice. You gotta work within the system. Like. Yeah, all right.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, how.
Akash Singh
I. I know it's slippery, so. But I'm just saying it's like, hey.
Andrew Schulz
I mean, that's the. My heart goes out to you a little. My heart goes out to you.
Akash Singh
So you're saying all health professionals should just be like. We're just not gonna.
Andrew Schulz
Not all help treat anybody but the people that are working for the insurance agencies and continuing to, like, propagate this business structure.
Akash Singh
Oh, I agree with it.
Andrew Schulz
But again, I don't know enough to say, but maybe if it was. Maybe if it was presented like that, it'd be harder to accept a job in that way. Maybe if that's how Americans felt about you, you'd be less willing to accept that position. Like, right now, we kind of. You know, I think there's been, like, a bunch of movies that came out that make working on Wall street look really cool and, like, owning a hedge fund look really badass and cool. Cool and wild west, like. And you're trying to, you know, stop. You're trying to circumnavigate the governments, and they're trying to shut you down. And they almost look like, what's it called? Anti heroes, in a way.
Akash Singh
Yeah, but they all usually end pretty bad.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, but like. But maybe if. Maybe if the movies we watch growing up position them as, like, greedy pigs that don't really offer anything to society at all, and they're just making money by moving money around, maybe less people would be inclined to do those jobs. Maybe because they'd be like, ah, there's kind of, like, shame put on this. And being that now I know there's a lot of money, but those people can make money doing other things. Like, there's way more money in tech than there is in working on Wall Street. Like, being a doctor. Right. I. I imagine culturally, like, especially from everything Akash told me, there's this great cultural reward that comes from it. Like, there's honor in the community beyond money. It means more.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And you can. You can own a hedge fund. You can make all these money, but I imagine within your community, the admiration.
Mark Gagnon
Is toward the doctor.
Andrew Schulz
So I wonder if we switch that reward system.
Akash Singh
I get you saying, but being an engineer or a coder is a little bit harder than gambling on Wall Street.
Andrew Schulz
It's way harder.
Akash Singh
That's what I'm saying.
Andrew Schulz
So it's like, oh, that's a good point. It's. It is.
Akash Singh
Are you making me just can't do the good thing? And they're like, hey, I'm. I can talk my. I can be a sales.
Alex Media
There's more money in tech, but there's more money for an asset. The average guy in Wall street, like.
Andrew Schulz
When I think of Wall Street, I think of, like, some handsome, tall white guy with the Patrick Bateman hair. Yeah, right. Dining out at the nicest restaurants. Sleeping with tons of girls, buying bottles at the clubs. If you're a young ambitious guy, that seems pretty cool.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
When I think of doctors, I think of a guy with blood all over his shirt working endless hours at the ER. Yeah.
Alex Media
12 years of school.
Andrew Schulz
The incentive structure isn't there. Like, I don't even see doctors with like that.
Akash Singh
No, they get.
Mark Gagnon
Doctors get, of course.
Andrew Schulz
But like, it's almost like it would be uncouth if you had a boy doctor. You're like, I don't trust that with my heart. Yeah, I know a boy doctor. Yeah, I don't trust that no more. I kept. We know the guy. We kept seeing him at parties where people were doing Molly and I'm like, surgery tomorrow.
Mark Gagnon
Surgeon.
Andrew Schulz
Right. He's a surgeon.
Mark Gagnon
Surgeons are boys.
Akash Singh
Yeah. They known as boys.
Andrew Schulz
Is there like a risk tolerance thing?
Alex Media
It's got to be like, fight for mentality. Like, that's.
Mark Gagnon
The stereotype is. I learned this from fucking scrubs and it turned out to be true. The stereotype of surgeons is they're like the jocks. They're like kind of like the meathead doctors, but they still really smart, got their shit done. The guys that go party and then still get an A on the test, surgeons.
Andrew Schulz
And I wonder if they're willing to accept a little bit more risk. Like, they like the gambling. Because people die when you're a surgeon. Whereas if you're going to be like a dermatologist or something like that, it's probably less risk.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, yeah.
Alex Media
It's also less cool. You tell people you're a heart surgeon.
Andrew Schulz
That like, bro, go crazy for that wet.
Alex Media
Yeah. Ben Carson wrote 10 books about it, bro. Just killing twins, bro.
Andrew Schulz
That's fire. Who's the guy we had on Billy Carson?
Akash Singh
This guy?
Alex Media
Different guy, bro.
Mark Gagnon
What?
Andrew Schulz
Trump's America, man. Let me tell you something. Billy Carson is black people's Rogan. No, the amount of non white people that have come up to me since that episode came out, they were like, yo, he's spitting, though. Be honest. Like, some of that is true.
Akash Singh
Yeah, but what said some of it's true.
Andrew Schulz
Say again?
Akash Singh
Rogan said some of it's true.
Andrew Schulz
That's why we love Rogan. He puts us on to all the cool that we didn't know was true or not.
Alex Media
But West Huff shut it down. You saw that. West Huff and Billy had a debate.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, we need to have West Huff on. Yeah, because he actually ran read the Bible. He didn't read the emerald tablets of Toth. That never existed anyway.
Akash Singh
Why you ain't shoot down on the Billy Carson when he was right here.
Alex Media
I don't know what the hell he's talking about.
Andrew Schulz
You read the Bible?
Alex Media
He said he saw aliens. I believed him.
Akash Singh
You read the Bible, you should have shot something.
Andrew Schulz
You don't think Mark really read the Bible rom Catholic?
Alex Media
You just hear it in church. You're like, y'all.
Andrew Schulz
You hear that in another language.
Akash Singh
He was homeschooled. They ain't learned nothing but the Bible.
Andrew Schulz
His mom spoke to him in Latin.
Alex Media
Until he was six.
Andrew Schulz
Six years old. Every morning.
Alex Media
I learned why Martin Luther was a heretic. And that's basically it. Homeschooling. We weren't doing a ton of Bible, by the way.
Mark Gagnon
They were learning about coffee.
Akash Singh
That's good.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Alex Media
We learned homeopathy.
Andrew Schulz
Okay. We.
Alex Media
We didn't really get too into the weeds of Leviticus. This Jew stuff, you know. You don't read all that. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Have you guys read the Bible?
Alex Media
No Bible in a year.
Andrew Schulz
Big podcast.
Alex Media
You can start it right now.
Andrew Schulz
I started doing that.
Akash Singh
Like, I went through.
Mark Gagnon
I tried. Yo, that's a slow.
Andrew Schulz
That's a slow one. It's tough. You could tell there wasn't much competition in the literature world when that thing came out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? You go to the library. It's like one book.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Now we got Harry Potter, son. Like, there's a lot of options.
Akash Singh
When I was doing communion, they didn't even give us the regular Bible. They was giving us with pictures in it.
Andrew Schulz
I like that picture. Bible's fire.
Alex Media
You got the Disney.
Mark Gagnon
We noticed the Bible way easier to read. I like that. That King James. I don't know what he talking.
Akash Singh
You got to keep a bunch of eight years old occupied with the actual Bible.
Alex Media
There. There's some. There's some fat in there. You know, there's some books where you're like, oh, my.
Andrew Schulz
Every story someone tells me from the Bible, I'm like, this is the most interesting story I've ever heard in my life. And then you start to read it. You're like, holy moly.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Thou hast a lot. You know, what does thou have? You have.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I think we just need to. Ebonics.
Alex Media
The Bible, the pigeon Bible.
Mark Gagnon
That's my modern English. The new international version of the Bible.
Akash Singh
That's the church.
Mark Gagnon
Made sense, huh?
Akash Singh
That's the Trump version from China.
Mark Gagnon
No, no, no, That's. That's probably his own Bible. That's a Donald Trump Bible.
Andrew Schulz
Donald Trump swore on a takeout menu. Is that what you're saying right now, there is no way Donald Trump swore himself into office. He took the oath on the beef and broccoli menu.
Alex Media
Bro, did I show you this? I think I show you.
Akash Singh
I love it.
Alex Media
Hawaiian pigeon, bro. They got it. This is the Bible everyone needs to be reading. John 3:16.
Andrew Schulz
Hey, brother God, when give me so plenty of love. They're a little hard for the people. For the people. People inside the world.
Akash Singh
Oh, that's fire.
Alex Media
I like this one that he want. Send me his one and only boy so that everyone doesn't trust me. Don't get cut off from God, but get that real kind knife. Stay out the max forever.
Andrew Schulz
Now we need Wesley Huff here to just give us the fire stories, tell us why that is 100% true.
Alex Media
Yes. And don't fact check check at all, yo.
Akash Singh
Oh, you don't believe in your.
Alex Media
Nah, you just don't want to get in the weeds. Well, technically this translation shaky, bro. It's just fun to run with it shaking your face. That's why you can't. That's why you can't fact check Billy Carson, bro.
Akash Singh
Nah, you should let it ride.
Mark Gagnon
No, faith is not about facts. It's about faith. Yeah, so he's kind of got a point there.
Alex Media
Faith no facts, bro. Faith no facts.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, you know what I have faith in? We booted Christians make the most fun people. Of all the rest religions, Christians by far are the most fun.
Mark Gagnon
They got the black people, so that's big. Catholics.
Alex Media
They weren't Mexicans, bro.
Andrew Schulz
Mexicans are Catholics. Italians are Catholics. The French are Catholics. The Irish are the most fun. There's something about the Bible. I don't know what it is, but.
Akash Singh
There'S something about the Bible fact that nobody follows.
Andrew Schulz
Jews read their. Muslims read their. And Christians are like, Christmas is far. And whatever. Whatever that is, it makes the. There's like enough of a separation where you could just have fun. Because if you want to have fun, like fun fun, you're not going to a devout Muslim country. You're not going to. You're not going to fucking Hasidic Williamsburg.
Mark Gagnon
Like you don't know exactly what it is.
Andrew Schulz
Go.
Mark Gagnon
You get forgiven for all your sins. Don't matter what the fuck you do. Believe in God and forgive me for this fuck shit I'm about to do. You're still going to hell.
Andrew Schulz
Well, I think we need that. People need to have fun.
Mark Gagnon
It does make earth more fun.
Andrew Schulz
Listen, Marab, the guy who fought in the ufc. Marab and the guy, he fought Khabib's brother They're the same in the face, really. Do you know what I mean? Like, I think, like, ethnically they're kind of like the same. Like, there's one bus stop away, but it's pretty sick. And one is Christian and the other one is Muslim. Marab is in the ring doing dances. He's looking out into. He's having fun. The other guy is. He's locked in. Yeah, he's taking this now. He was getting his ass kicked, but he's still taking that very seriously. There's something about Christianity that it extracts the fun, man.
Alex Media
It just is fun because he's risen, bro. Jesus is in heaven. He's going to come get us.
Andrew Schulz
He's going to snatch us up.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Alex Media
You just got to chill.
Andrew Schulz
But what happens in Islam, does that not happen? They go to heaven, too.
Mark Gagnon
I think it's harder to get in. I think it's stricter requirements. Islam like that Ivy League community college.
Andrew Schulz
But if you want to have fun, you're not going to Dartmouth.
Mark Gagnon
It's true.
Akash Singh
Community college.
Alex Media
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
So great. But for real, we got to shout out Christians for creating fun.
Alex Media
Yep.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah. Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Before Christians, I don't know if fun existed. It's a lot of rules to being Jewish. Yeah, it's a lot of rules. The lights can't be on on. This fish has a, you know, a shell on it. You can't eat.
Alex Media
Yeah, they were fun Romans, yo.
Andrew Schulz
You know what? Pagans were fun.
Alex Media
Too much.
Andrew Schulz
Too much fun.
Alex Media
Too much fun.
Andrew Schulz
They need to reign a little bit.
Akash Singh
Say the game.
Andrew Schulz
Yo. Because the Spartans were like 300 people, but they were like the Muslims or the Greeks and they. They had 300. They almost took out everybody. You just needed 300. Discipline. You needed three dudes. 300 dudes. Not buff every two seconds of the day. And you could actually get some shit done.
Alex Media
Yeah. That's all it takes.
Andrew Schulz
Wow.
Alex Media
So Christian's kind of brought it in. They brought it in. They're like, hey, we can still have fun, drink a little, but just like, don't kill people all the time, bro.
Andrew Schulz
Can I ask you a question? Do you think all, like, the Greek is for God? Yeah, for God. We could do it. But do you think all like the Greek math, like the A squared plus B, The Pythagorean theory. Do you think that's all about just getting male dicks inside boy ass? Yeah. Do you think it's all angles?
Mark Gagnon
You got to get the right angle.
Andrew Schulz
Exactly.
Akash Singh
Because you.
Andrew Schulz
If it's a boy, if it's your.
Mark Gagnon
Apprentice or whatever, they Called him right angle.
Andrew Schulz
He got to go 90.
Alex Media
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I don't know.
Akash Singh
This is uncomfortable.
Andrew Schulz
Why? Yeah.
Akash Singh
Talk about boy, little kid. That's.
Andrew Schulz
No, no, no, no, no.
Mark Gagnon
It's culture.
Alex Media
It's your culture being racist.
Andrew Schulz
You're being our culture, dude.
Alex Media
You're being racist.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, you're being very racist.
Akash Singh
Nah, that. They need more Pompei and just destroy all this guy.
Mark Gagnon
So bigot.
Andrew Schulz
It's not even in Greece, bro.
Akash Singh
Over there, top Romans or not. Shut up. Yeah, I can't just let it rock.
Alex Media
No, the Romans were a little, I.
Andrew Schulz
Don'T know, a country post on Instagram. I know Anguilla. Need to invent some math real fast, bro.
Alex Media
I went to Aruba.
Akash Singh
Aruba was beautiful.
Alex Media
And I was like, where is that? He's like, I don't. That's some country.
Andrew Schulz
I was like, all right. You know. You were in South America.
Akash Singh
Yes, I did. You didn't even.
Alex Media
You were in Amsterdam.
Andrew Schulz
Al got to go to Aruba. He can't go to Columbia anymore now that he got fiance. You got to go as close as he can. I'm going to Aruba. You took that boat to Venezuela immediately.
Mark Gagnon
There's a lot of Venezuelans there.
Akash Singh
National championships. National championships. Let's talk that. Let's talk that.
Andrew Schulz
Either you guys watch the game.
Mark Gagnon
I didn't watch the national championship game because I just knew OC Was going to dominate.
Andrew Schulz
I just don't watch amateur football. Like, how many amateur sports we gonna watch?
Akash Singh
Yeah, they already getting paid with the nil. Like, yeah, we don't need to watch them.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, but can we watch them when they're in the NFL? I just. Maybe it's because I grew up in New York, but, like, I never understood.
Mark Gagnon
You know, when he really liked.
Akash Singh
It's a New York thing.
Andrew Schulz
It's a New York thing. Like, why are we watching these college players? Let's watch them when they got, you know, facial hair and shit. And they're adults also.
Mark Gagnon
I think, though, if you don't have a pro team, like, those are the guys that. That's all they have. So Alabama. There's no fucking pro team anywhere near there. Yeah, but you got the University of Alabama, I think South Florida, same shit. You got Miami, but they don't really associate with Miami or, like, North Florida.
Andrew Schulz
So it's like ladyboyz in Thailand.
Mark Gagnon
It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly, exactly.
Andrew Schulz
You can't fuck real pussy. You get the closest thing.
Mark Gagnon
Exactly, yeah.
Alex Media
You get it where you fit it.
Andrew Schulz
We got two NFL teams. The fuck am I Watching me, my play around. Exactly.
Alex Media
And then if you're even in a smaller town without a college, you watch high school. Yeah, exactly.
Mark Gagnon
And if you went to a college with a good school, a good team, then you'd get into it and you'd be indoctrinated.
Andrew Schulz
So how much longer we got to watch, like, care about this? Over, Right?
Mark Gagnon
It's over. Thank God.
Akash Singh
Oh, it's done. Okay.
Andrew Schulz
God. Oh, my God.
Mark Gagnon
The day one.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, the college teams won.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Didn't Sanders do anything? That's the only thing I know.
Mark Gagnon
He got his ass beat in the ball game, but I still hope comes to Dallas.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, he might.
Mark Gagnon
I don't think he will.
Akash Singh
Oh, you want him to come to Dallas? I hear everybody saying that that would be a bad move. I don't know why, but people just know.
Mark Gagnon
I've been. I've been living through it for 30 years. Dion is the one guy who can maybe push back on Jerry Jones and Steven Jones and get his way. He's the only guy that could maybe do it. He is such a force of will.
Akash Singh
Look at you, Dallas fan. Look at you coming.
Mark Gagnon
Dion coming back. I'm interested. I'm watching again.
Akash Singh
Dion, you can't do that. You left the team. You're gone.
Alex Media
You're no longer.
Akash Singh
You can't be a Cowboy fan. That's a good point.
Mark Gagnon
My wife knows.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, the Eagles are in it.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, the Eagles are in it. I think they might win the whole thing.
Andrew Schulz
Really? That good?
Mark Gagnon
Their quarterback is not good. He's got his hurt knee, blah, blah, blah. But I tell you what I always make the mistake of as a fan. Defense really does win championships. And I think the Eagles defense is really good. And Saquon. Saquon Barkley is like having a historic season, and that might be enough. And they don't play. Dude, Lamar Jackson, I feel so bad for. Did you guys watch any of the games?
Alex Media
I saw that.
Andrew Schulz
No, I just saw the guy, Mark Andrews drop that. Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Dropped the two point version. Lamar Jackson made two really bad plays throughout the game, but generally speaking, he had a pretty good game that would have tied the game. Now, Josh Allen would. This is where I feel like we kind of got robbed of really great endings. Josh Allen, if he catches that, gets the ball back with 90 seconds and two timeouts, and then you get to see him try to drive and see if they can have a game. That would have been sick. Yeah, the Eagles game, they were like the Lions or. Sorry, the Rams could have come, but they were down 15 to 28 with three minutes left. It's like a. They're done. They score a touchdown, get the ball back, get all the way. Like the 20 yard line. If that. If the Rams score. Touchdown there. What a historic ending. But for Lamar, I'm like, oh, you just got to get out of the afc. Every great quarterback in the league is in the afc. Like, you know, when we were younger, it was like Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning. Two of them were in one conference. Two of them or another. Imagine they're all in. One of those guys is just never going to get anywhere.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
And that's where I feel like Lamar Jackson.
Andrew Schulz
This was like when the east was trash in the NBA.
Mark Gagnon
Yes, exactly. So if you don't make it. But like the Eagles have had a much easier path if they get to the Super Bowl.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Than the Bills would have had. The Bills had to play the Ravens. Then they have to get through the Chiefs. If they beat them.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Mark Gagnon
Like it's. I just think Lamar, poor guy. I really. He's not amazing in the playoffs, but he's good enough. I think if he was on an NFC team, he'd get to the Super Bowl.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
Did the Bills win?
Mark Gagnon
Bills won. Stake wise, I do think they can beat the Chiefs, but again, I could be underestimating defense because the Chiefs have a really good defense. Their offense is not bad exciting this year. So I think I'm just kind of taken in by Josh Allen and all the sexy things he's doing, but I feel like, oh, they could actually win it this year. I. My prediction is Eagles and Bills.
Alex Media
I agree.
Mark Gagnon
If you're going to bet on that, by the way, go to Steak.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, steak.
Mark Gagnon
The world's U.S. the world's largest U.S. largest.
Andrew Schulz
The world's largest U.S. social casino.
Mark Gagnon
The world's largest U. S. Social casino.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, go there. Go to Stake.com and make sure you use flagrant.
Mark Gagnon

Akash Singh
Can you bet with tennis? Because I.
Mark Gagnon
Yes.
Akash Singh
I only watch the Australian Open.
Mark Gagnon
Yonic still?
Akash Singh
Nah. Ben. Ben Shelton.
Andrew Schulz
You think you got it?
Akash Singh
I think so. Come on, let's go.
Andrew Schulz
Ben.
Mark Gagnon
Following him on Instagram. He gas right now.
Alex Media
Really.
Mark Gagnon
Good luck to the American though. Always.
Akash Singh
Yeah, he's. That's who I'm going for.
Mark Gagnon
Trump, baby.
Andrew Schulz
How old is he, Ben?
Akash Singh
I think he's like 22, something like that.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, he's a kid. Yeah, I saw him. I didn't even realize it was Him. I was in the Hamptons and I think this was probably during like around the US Open last year. And I remember I saw this. That kid. I thought, like, I don't know if I thought it was like maybe somebody's younger brother's brother, bro, I thought it.
Alex Media
Was Patrick Mahomes brother first.
Andrew Schulz
I mean. Yeah. That's super important. Insulting. That's really insulting.
Mark Gagnon
That's crazy.
Andrew Schulz
That's really insulting.
Alex Media
Why?
Andrew Schulz
Because. Because Patrick Mahomes younger brother looks like he knows the Pythagorean theorem perfectly.
Akash Singh
He's actually not that far off. Like, they could. I could see them getting mixed up.
Mark Gagnon
What made you think it was him? Was he being sexually inappropriate with a waitress?
Andrew Schulz
No, Ben is. Ben is. Is solid, bro. He's. He don't look like a tennis player. Put it that way. Like in my mind, tennis players are like Pete Sampras.
Akash Singh
That was bad. Gay.
Andrew Schulz
What?
Akash Singh
You check it out.
Andrew Schulz
Ben, son, my man was jack up. I'm like, you know, he plays tennis. He's 6, 4, 200 pounds.
Alex Media
Yeah. Kid's built.
Andrew Schulz
There you go.
Alex Media
What about the Spanish kid, Alcaraz?
Akash Singh
He just got.
Mark Gagnon
He just lost.
Andrew Schulz
We need to drop a sneaker.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Alex Media
Wait, what?
Andrew Schulz
I don't know.
Akash Singh
Coco has a sneaker. She just lost.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, I looked into that one.
Mark Gagnon
So you're looking for paddle shoes?
Andrew Schulz
I'm looking for paddle shoes. Yeah. Rafa don't got enough ankle support for me.
Akash Singh
Coco shits. Look. Fire.
Andrew Schulz
I look. I looked into it. Plugged into it.
Akash Singh
I bought the combat boots.
Andrew Schulz
I know, bro. I need all the ankles.
Akash Singh
Why do you have a heat pad right now?
Andrew Schulz
Cuz my back, bro.
Alex Media
I can't believe.
Akash Singh
That's crazy how you just walk in as if that's nothing.
Mark Gagnon
The rant distracted us.
Andrew Schulz

Akash Singh

Akash Singh
Okay?
Andrew Schulz
And it is. Yeah, it's just the most fun sport. I keep telling people, go Try. If. Even if you. If I'm describing it right now, you think it's. Pickle ball is not pickle ball.
Akash Singh
N. Paddle is fun. And. And it's. It's a dope f. It's a dope sport to watch.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Akash Singh
And it's easier to play.
Andrew Schulz
And here's the thing. I would say it's like. And I think I've said this before, at every stage of the game, you think you're good. Whereas with tennis or golf in the beginning, you suck. And you know you suck. And it's, like, hard to even keep rallies going.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
But paddle, because of the back wall and the sidewalls, like, you always have, like, a little bit of hope.
Alex Media
And the fact is, doubles, if you're playing with someone that's played a couple times, they can kind of save you. Like, they keep doing it.
Andrew Schulz
Nah.
Akash Singh
But you got better.
Andrew Schulz
I've been watching your.
Alex Media
On your story, bro. You got so good. I quit.
Mark Gagnon
Can we play?
Andrew Schulz
Mark chose his kid over paddle. I did not. Okay, Paddle is keeping his family together.
Alex Media
All right, but now you're paying for it, bro. You got a debilitating injury.
Andrew Schulz
Can we play?
Mark Gagnon
That's crazy, cuz I'm not good.
Akash Singh
The point of playing paddle is so you don't get hurt, and you still getting hurt in the easy sport.
Andrew Schulz
Yo, I stretch now, son. I stretch now. I stretch. I never stretch in my whole life. If you stretch before activities, I never stretch once in my whole life.
Akash Singh
The first time I went to play, you doing some gay ass yoga stretches.
Andrew Schulz
I got to get there, like, 15 minutes early, people. And if I'm late, we don't play until I finish session. I got three I don't even know waiting on me while I'm doing my strength. I'm doing my cat cows. I'm doing my Elon's.
Akash Singh
Come on, come on. You can't go out like that.
Andrew Schulz
No, no, I'm out. I got a groin injury. I got. And I'm tight as Jason. When he hits a shitty shot that I got to run for, I go. My groin. Groin is stressed. This groin right here is. I don't know when that's gonna get better. I can't rest. I'm too competitive. Your competitiveness never goes away. That's why you get bitter.
Akash Singh
Second, you're just coaching. You're not playing.
Andrew Schulz
I just get to pick the teams.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Alex Media
So, yo, wait, you're not playing?
Andrew Schulz
No, I'm gonna play, but inside games. I'm not playing like the professional. I'll play with Them in like side games.
Alex Media
Okay.
Andrew Schulz
Or like a charity match. There's like a charity game. We're gonna raise some money for some things.
Akash Singh
You gotta play against Jeter, son.
Andrew Schulz
Of course. I'm a wash Jeter. I'm gonna wash Jeter.
Akash Singh
You get the key to the city if you wash Jeter, bro. About to be.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Yo, that's it.
Alex Media
How long has Jeter been playing? Like, did you know that he played.
Andrew Schulz
Honestly, I think Jeter sucks. With all due respect, Cheetah's the goat. With all due respect, like, you're go on so many levels. Like obviously the level we're talking about, so.
Akash Singh
But yo, G's a legend, bro.
Andrew Schulz
Yo, he's a legend.
Akash Singh
He's a legend.
Andrew Schulz
There's literally a cord heating my back right now, so I could play Jeter.
Alex Media
If he wants to smoke.
Andrew Schulz
Matter of fact, he got a chance, cuz my back is up.
Mark Gagnon
Jeter going to wash you?
Andrew Schulz
No, no, no. There's no chance.
Mark Gagnon
There's no way. He's not good at right now with the.
Akash Singh
There's a chance.
Andrew Schulz
It looks like there's a really good chance.
Mark Gagnon
Think about the hand eye coordination Jeter has. You think he can't play paddle?
Andrew Schulz
Nope.
Mark Gagnon
Okay.
Andrew Schulz

Alex Media
Dude, he's crazy in bed. He's crazy in bed.
Akash Singh
We were just giving out baskets for steak.
Andrew Schulz
He gave out his own baskets, too. He invented the gift basket. He invented the gift basket. Anyway, if you're down in Miami, come to the reserve cup. That is going to be crazy. You're just going to see this at the highest level and then maybe you see me around with some. Some dudes.
Akash Singh

Mark Gagnon
Get your back right, dude, play Jeter.
Andrew Schulz
I know. No, no, I'm gonna play. Anybody who wants to smoke, I'm doing it.
Akash Singh

Andrew Schulz
If you are you going to play Stein, you got the hands from tennis now.
Akash Singh
Yeah. I can't embarrass myself in front of Jeta, bro.
Alex Media
You.
Akash Singh
I don't give a G. Come on. That's G, bro.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
I want you all playing. Mark, you got to come back.
Alex Media
I know. I need to. I'm going to tell my son like, hey, Daddy's got work to do.
Mark Gagnon
Ain't no fun no more.
Andrew Schulz
I know.
Alex Media
I agree.
Mark Gagnon
And he don't even raise his kid.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. What is he doing?
Mark Gagnon
I don't know.
Andrew Schulz
He's adding Chotchkis to the camp gag.
Alex Media
I have a lot of antiquing to do. Stores.
Andrew Schulz
Crying cuz she's. He's hungry.
Alex Media
And I've noticed something. I've been going to these antique stores. Only gay guys. Did you know that this is a gay activity? I didn't know this. Every antique store is run by a flamboyant 50 year old man.
Mark Gagnon
You're a giant.
Alex Media
But I didn't know. Isn't that so crazy you could be gay and not know it.
Mark Gagnon
You didn't know that when you went antiquing?
Alex Media
No, I just like looking at old you. Combine.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I, I thought it would be a bunch of lesbians in there.
Alex Media
No gay guys.
Mark Gagnon
Gay is gay, dude.
Alex Media
Yeah, just like proud Broadway gays. It's fire.
Andrew Schulz
Well, shout out. Shout out to gays. Shout out. YMCA pulled up, did the right thing.
Mark Gagnon
Oh yeah, dog.
Alex Media
Do you want a feelings? No Facts executive?
Andrew Schulz
I do. Well actually I want to do a little Patreon question before we get out of here, but I do want to, I do want to say this. We were talking about like Republicans being more inclusive. Like the, the hardcore gay marriage is wrong. Being gay is wrong. You go to hell if you're gay. Those Republicans were there while Trump is dancing to YMCA with the Village People.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
So we gotta have a conversation about inclusivity. So either they're tolerating it or they feel so ostracized. They're like all right, we'll put up with this little gay shit because you know he's holding us down with this other stuff.
Akash Singh
Or they're too dumb to know they're gay. They're like, oh, everybody knows he's a builder, he's a Indian.
Alex Media
Yeah, yeah, they're Indian guys.
Andrew Schulz
Obviously gay. The assless chaps. Biker.
Akash Singh
I didn't even know.
Andrew Schulz
People are very conservative until that biker comes around. Cuz it's really just the construction workers. The policeman got his finger out and then there's the Indian. And I don't even know why the native Americans are included in this.
Akash Singh
That said, I know there was an asses one.
Andrew Schulz
That's crazy man. They all got minor mustache.
Mark Gagnon
That's crazy.
Akash Singh
What the. The middle one is the who the.
Mark Gagnon
You think it is though.
Akash Singh
Yeah, I guess.
Andrew Schulz
Now shout out to Village People.
Alex Media
Yeah, so they got an army guy, there's a construction guy.
Akash Singh
They don't even get in trouble for wearing the.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, he must be a real n. They're grandfathered in.
Alex Media
I mean shout out to them. Are they even gay or do gay people just like, be like, oh, this.
Mark Gagnon
Is like he said of them is gay.
Andrew Schulz
N. They all gay?
Akash Singh
No, the whole group is.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah, the group is gay, but one of them is more out than the others.
Alex Media
I mean, these guys are fire.
Akash Singh
Shout out to Trump, man. That's inclusive.
Alex Media
Remind me of us in a way, you know?
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, dude, I think I know which one I am.
Andrew Schulz
All right, guys, listen, before we get out of here, I want to do a Patreon question. One of my favorite things about Patreon is just talking to you and the crazy questions you come out with. And what I really appreciate appreciate is how much you appreciate Miles and Mark right off the bat. You always have love, kindness, and respect for them.
Alex Media
Thank you.
Andrew Schulz
And I think that that should definitely continue. I think that energy should be kept in every single question and our reaction to it. So I think this. This question is from last week's Patreon and Miles, I know you're going to choose a good one to give to the people, because these people need a good one. It's Trump's America right now. So one that would reflect that.
Akash Singh
Got you.
Andrew Schulz
Okay, Miles. Miles, it's up to you. Appreciate that. Okay.
Akash Singh
If you could be an owner of any professional sports team in the world, what team would you pick and what would be the unique thing you did as an owner?
Andrew Schulz
Oh, any professional.
Mark Gagnon
It's obvious for me.
Andrew Schulz
Well, go.
Mark Gagnon
I would own the Dallas Cowboys, and then the unique thing I would do is I would kill the owner. I'd have him put to death and hung in the gallows with his son.
Andrew Schulz
He really is King Joffrey. Right?
Alex Media
You get Joffrey vibes a little bit. I'm gonna castrate this man from the whole arena on the star.
Mark Gagnon
Luigi never made more sense to me in my life, dude. That's what I do. And I'd be pretty unique and pretty popular, I think.
Alex Media
Would you help the team?
Mark Gagnon
Yes, of course.
Alex Media
How would you do that?
Mark Gagnon
I would be a little less hands on. I would hire some people that know what they're doing. I'd outsource. You guys handle it. Let's go.
Alex Media
And then who would do the execution?
Mark Gagnon
Oh, I would execute myself.
Alex Media
Who would do that part? Hands on.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, that is me. That's hands on.
Andrew Schulz
That's far.
Mark Gagnon
That I'm hands on with everything else. Football matters. I don't understand wanting to kill a guy who's willing to check that I.
Alex Media
Got and knowing how to do it.
Mark Gagnon
Yes. Easy.
Andrew Schulz
Very easy. Yeah, I like that. Dallas Cowboys. 100%.
Mark Gagnon
1,000%. You wouldn't buy the Knicks.
Andrew Schulz
Oh, wow, that's interesting. Yeah. Yeah, I guess you could buy just the Knicks.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Because I think that. I think he owns the Rangers as well. Whatever. But yeah, I have no interest in the Rangers, but without a doubt it would be the knicks.
Akash Singh
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Like 100%.
Mark Gagnon
And what would you do? Uniquely mine. Answers available.
Andrew Schulz
I would hire. I know exactly who I would hire.
Mark Gagnon
Oh, yeah, I know.
Andrew Schulz
I know exactly who I hire to run the team.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
And. And then there it is. Yeah. I guess that's it. Simple as that. I would buy the Knicks and then I would hire Bobby Webster, the GM of the Raptors, to. To. To. To bring a New Yorker Championship. Wow. 1, 100%.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Alex Media
Solid.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah. Yeah. This is where things get tricky, though.
Mark Gagnon
What's the unique thing you do that nobody else has done, though?
Andrew Schulz
So I feel like if you can get Toronto to win a championship.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
You can get a major market to win one. It's hard to get players to. They. They had to like, trick.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Kawhi to go there and he only went for like a year.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
Remember, he was out immediately. So like orchestrating that.
Mark Gagnon
They were like, do you want to repeat?
Andrew Schulz
And he was like, nah, nah, I'm good.
Mark Gagnon
I'll go to the Clip.
Andrew Schulz
Clippers anywhere else.
Alex Media
What did they trick them? What do you mean?
Andrew Schulz
They didn't trigger. It was like a trade, but they traded it. They basically put together a team that needed that one more piece and they took the gamble on getting one more piece, knowing that he'd probably leave.
Alex Media
So he begrudgingly won a championship.
Andrew Schulz
Yes. Like the 100.
Alex Media
That's crazy.
Andrew Schulz
And the second he got out of there, he got nobody. I don't know if anybody in history, if there's been a star of a team that won a championship, had the opportunity to resign and then left. Wow.
Mark Gagnon
I've never heard of this. Truly.
Alex Media
He's not autistic. Hising. He's just apathetic.
Andrew Schulz
Yeah.
Alex Media
Like, everyone's like, man, he's got no emotion. He's just genuinely like, give me the out.
Andrew Schulz
Get me out of here. And so it's. It's tough for like a non. It's not. It's weird to even call them not a major market because they are like Canada's team. You have kind of like a whole country behind you. But yeah, if you could make that happen.
Alex Media
Was it the same money? Like, was money an issue?
Mark Gagnon
It was more money to go to.
Andrew Schulz
Toronto if we want to get into it. There's been allegations that they. The Clippers Gave Kawhi a little. A little extra.
Akash Singh
That's what I'm doing. So I'm buying the Knicks. I'm finding ways to give players extra bags so we get the best talent. I'm making the dancers way hotter. Oh, and back to the skimpy outfits. Like, now the outfits is too pg. I. I know there's kids there. All they need to grow up.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, I got conservative. As soon as he hypothetically got.
Andrew Schulz
Ain't that funny? Ain't that crazy.
Mark Gagnon
He hypothetically got money, and he's like, all this women's empowerment. Dress like hoes, get the ugly out.
Akash Singh
Yes. Let's pay the players, you know, and sneaky brown paper bag money.
Andrew Schulz
How can they not do that? Like, I'm wondering. That has to happen in. In New York. It's not pay the players directly, but, like, you're in this major city, so there's so many different companies that want to make you their mascot in some way. Like, they.
Akash Singh
Like, how do we not get LeBron when we had a chance of getting LeBron?
Andrew Schulz
Cause LA. Yeah, LA.
Mark Gagnon
Yeah, but we. Before Miami.
Andrew Schulz
Ah, yeah.
Akash Singh
Like.
Mark Gagnon
Like, well, apparently New York absolutely bungled the, like, presentation or whatever. Like, he didn't play. It was like some family guy they didn't care about or something. And then Pat Riley comes in with all of his rings as a gm, as a coach, as a player, and just dumps them on the table. That's like his first move. And if you're LeBron, you're looking at that like, that's the one thing of money.
Akash Singh
This doesn't stop. Just tell me when to stop. That's it.
Andrew Schulz
But also, LeBron knows you. He's going to make the money.
Akash Singh
Yeah, but anywhere. Anywhere. I just tell him whatever you want.
Alex Media
Yeah.
Andrew Schulz
So it's like, what you really got to do is find out what they want. Like, I think that's the tricky thing with these major players who are going to get the.
Akash Singh
According to academics. Hoes.
Andrew Schulz
Yo, can we talk about that? Like, what. Where.
Akash Singh
We should have talked about that.
Andrew Schulz
Where do you stand. Where do you guys stand with academics alleging that. That LeBron was out there?
Akash Singh
This is the smartest move by Drake.
Andrew Schulz
All right, guys, thank you guys so much for listening. We will see you guys next week. Matter of fact, we'll see some of y'all this Friday on Patreon. Patreon.com Flagrant Peace.
Podcast Summary: Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Episode: TRUMP IS BACK: Heil Elon, Fauci Guilty, & 2 Genders Forever?
Release Date: January 22, 2025
In this episode of Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh, the hosts delve into a whirlwind of political commentary, societal issues, and cultural observations. With their signature unapologetic and unfiltered humor, Andrew, Akaash, Mark Gagnon, and Alex Media dissect recent events surrounding former President Donald Trump, Elon Musk's controversial behavior, the pardon of Dr. Anthony Fauci, and ongoing debates about gender identity.
The episode kicks off with Andrew Schulz recounting Elon Musk's behavior at the Republican inauguration, terming it a "swatistic moment." Musk's gestures, interpreted by some as Nazi-like, sparked immediate backlash.
The hosts debate whether Musk's actions were intentional or a result of his autism. Mark Gagnon suggests Musk is "just autistic," defending him against accusations of anti-Semitism.
Andrew criticizes Democrats for defending what he terms "absurd stuff," highlighting the frustration with political gaslighting.
A significant portion of the discussion centers on Republican tactics in an era dominated by political correctness. The hosts argue that Republicans must openly criticize controversial actions without deflecting or gaslighting.
They touch upon the broader issue of political polarization, suggesting that Democrats have become the "dominant cultural force" while Republicans maintain a victim mentality.
The hosts observe and critique the presence and behavior of various billionaires at the inauguration, including Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos.
Melania Trump's attire is humorously compared to Carmen Sandiego attempting to steal Greenland, while John Fetterman's outfit is likened to "two for one lap dances at the Gaza Strip club."
A heated segment discusses transgender athletes competing against cisgender women, emphasizing perceived unfair advantages.
The conversation evolves into broader critiques of transgender policies, including mandatory surgeries for minors and participation in sports, framing them as extensions of political correctness gone awry.
The hosts analyze Trump's claims about election fraud, particularly focusing on Pennsylvania's vote count and the role of Elon Musk.
Dr. Anthony Fauci's pardon by Trump is another focal point, with the hosts expressing skepticism about the intent behind the pardon.
A substantial discussion revolves around TikTok's influence, data privacy concerns, and potential Chinese interference in American politics.
The hosts speculate on China's motives, suggesting that platforms like TikTok could be tools for sowing political unrest and influencing public opinion.
Transitioning from politics to sports, the hosts share their views on the NFL, college sports, and the dynamics of professional team ownership.
This hyperbolic humor underscores frustrations with team management and the commodification of sports.
Andrew Schulz initiates a critique of the American healthcare system, particularly targeting the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). He contrasts it with the perceived inefficiencies in the Canadian system.
The conversation highlights inconsistencies in both Republican and Democratic stances on healthcare, with accusations of blame-shifting and systemic greed.
Returning to transgender issues, the hosts debate the existence of two genders, the fairness of transgender athletes in sports, and the broader cultural implications of gender policies.
They argue that the debate is less about transgender individuals and more about political parties' unwillingness to acknowledge differing views, leading to greater polarization.
The episode wraps up with lighter banter about sports, antique shopping, and upcoming events, maintaining the show's characteristic irreverent tone. Promotions for sponsors like Current and American Financing intersperse the conversations, though these segments are briefly mentioned here as per the request to focus on content.
